1 Adventures among the Arabs Leon (Colonel) Lafitte , 1870 single work short story adventure
— Appears in: The Australian Journal , November vol. 6 no. 66 1870; (p. 150-152) A tale of two meetings with an American sheik in the Syrian desert. The American narrator hears of his exile from his native land following two duels in Virginia; visits his sister and his beloved there; and is saved by the sheik during a fierce desert battle after his return. Very dramatic, perhaps factually based. (PB)
