From A Bibliography of Alexandre Dumas père by Frank Wild Reed: A prose drama in five acts and eight tableaux (of which the first two constitute the prologue).
Some suggestion of Lockroy's collaboration has been made, but without production of any proof.
In this play Dumas has considerably improved upon the romance "El Salteador," from which it was drawn, notably in the individuality given to the bandits. At the same time it is not one of his best works.
First performed at the Porte Saint Martin Theatre on the 12th of June, 1860.
Original edition : Paris, Michel Lévy Frères, 12mo., pp. 144, 1860.
It may now be read in Vol. XIV. of the 15 Vol. edition of Calmann-Lévy, and in Vol. XXIII. of that in 25 Vols.
