Set in sultry New Orleans during the Civil War, Kincaid’s Battery tells the story of a Confederate army artillery unit, Hilary Kincaid’s Battery—or “the ladies’ men, ” as they are more teasingly known. The men’s various romances with the women of the Big Easy, among other adventures, examine themes of hope, peace, and the nature of war.
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.
