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.”

About the author
George Washington Cable (1844-1925), after fighting for the Confederacy in the Civil War, wrote about his native Louisiana in realist novels. His anti-racist and pro-civil rights attitudes eventually brought him to the north. Novels such as Old Creole Days, The Grandissimes, and Madame Delphine are often cited as forerunners of the work of William Faulkner.
