Strange True Stories of Louisiana
'Strange True Stories of Louisiana' by George Washington Cable is a collection of real-life accounts that take readers on a journey through the mysterious and intriguing history of Louisiana.

Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Formatted for e-reader Illustrated About Strange True Stories Of Louisiana by George Washington Cable George Washington Cable (October 12, 1844 - January 31, 1925) was an American novelist notable for the realism of his portrayals of Creole life in his native New Orleans, Louisiana. He has been called "the most important southern artist working in the late 19th century, as well as the first modern southern writer." In his treatment of racism, mixed-race families and miscegenation, his fiction has been thought to anticipate that of William Faulkner. He also wrote articles critical of contemporary society. Due to hostility against him after two 1885 essays encouraging racial equality and opposing Jim Crow, Cable moved with his family to Northampton, Massachusetts. He lived there for the next thirty years, then moved to Florida.
