+George Washington Cable+--novelist.
Born at New Orleans, 1844. Educated in public schools, but has honorary
higher degrees. Served in the Confederate army, 1863-5. Reporter on the
New Orleans _Picayune_ and accountant with a firm of cotton factors,
1865-79. Since 1879, has devoted his time to literature.
Mr. Cable became at once famous for his studies of Louisiana life in _Old
Creole Days_, and his pictures of this life have given him a permanent
place in American literature. His stories should be read in connection
with those of Kate Chopin and of Grace King (q.v.).
