Kentucky Barracuda: Parker H. French

BARRACUDA: con man, crook, hustler, swindler, clip artist, fraud, scam artist. Or, to put it more directly: Parker Hardin French. Though a notorious scoundrel in his time, French has been relegated to a minor footnote in American antebellum and Civil War history. Kentucky Barracuda brings this cunning rascal, this delightful rogue, out of the shadows and into the spotlight.
