You, Dominique

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.70 sec.

You, Dominique (c. 1772–1830)

Pirate. Born either in Haiti or France, he may have served in the French navy. By 1810 he was prominent among a group of smugglers and pirates at Barataria Bay, just off the Louisiana coast, under Jean Lafitte's leadership. He served with distinction in the US artillery at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815; for this he was pardoned by President Madison. He settled in New Orleans by 1817 and by the time of his death had become a legend in Louisiana.
