About this ebook
Cable draws on his Southern heritage and military service in the Civil War in this engaging novel about river life. A family finds trouble from the very start of their river adventure, including the dreaded cholera. Cable said about the novel, “it is so natural an outcome of my own experience . . . that I wonder how I came to leave it so long unwritten.”

George Washington Cable
George Washington Cable (1844–1925) was an American writer born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Cable’s family was initially wealthy due to their position as slaveholders. Yet, after his father’s untimely death they lost most of their fortune. The young Cable enrolled in the military and fought as a Confederate soldier during the American Civil War. It proved to be a lifechanging experience that would influence his future endeavors. In 1870, he became a journalist and spent years honing his skills before publishing his first novel, The Grandissimes: A Story of Creole Life. Cable’s work is best known for its exploration of Southern politics, culture and race relations.
