On jack3d side effects

The main character of Mignon is a man who was a soldier who was wounded in an earlier battle and now out of the Army and seeking to make his own fortune. He's an engineer who want to put down piles to build New Orleans up as a port, which of course someone must have done in real life. I don't know enough about the history of the city to know whether he could be a fictional version of someone real, or is still premature. He has already left a beautiful woman who loves him and who has arranged for him to get the money he needs, to pursue Mignon. Love is always damaging to Cain characters. Her father is tied to the business partner who tried to cheat him. No doubt they are all going to cheat the main character somehow. The only suspense is in seeing just how they do it. It's not about jack3d side effects, it's about how the cotton corrupts people with a hoodoo as his friend Dan in the Army tells him.
