Uniquely Captures an Era
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
The stories in this book provide colorful insight of the culture of New Orleans in the 19th century. Cable has a gift for painting lively images in the minds of his readers. This period in Louisiana history is gone, but thanks to this talented communicator we have a taste of what it was like. Strolling through the narrow streets of the French Quarter, one can think back to days gone by. Cable helps us understand a little of what it was like. History is about people. As a historical journalist, Cable keeps the human element in the forefront of his work. He doesn't forget that people want to know about other people. Fortunately for us, he tells the stories of Louisianians in his generation.
