Unabridged (100% Original content) Font adjustments & biography included 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.

Strange True Stories of Louisiana is George Washington Cable’s compilation of seven unusual, factual accounts of life and history in the area. They include tales of two French sisters who made the dangerous trek to the unsettled lands of north Louisiana at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Focusing on New Orleans, Cable adds the story of “The ‘Haunted House’ in Royal Street,” which spurs the imaginations of ghost hunters more than a century after its original writing. In the first published form, there is also a diary account from the Civil War of a Union woman trapped behind the battle lines. A celebrated journalist of his time, George Washington Cable became best known for his writings from New Orleans during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He was the author of numerous news pieces and books, including Old Creole Days and The Creoles of Louisiana. CONTENTS.

Excerpt from The Life and Writings of George Washington Doane, D.D. LL. D, Vol. 2 of 4: For Twenty-Seven Years Bishop of New Jersey, Containing His Poetical Works, Sermons, and Miscellaneous WritingsThe current of Patristic interpretation plainly gathers around the Rock, which is Christ. And Antiquity is against the Papal perversion, which founds the Church on the Epis copal office of St. Peter transmissive to his so-called successors in the Roman See.Can it be thought, if so much importance attached to this name, that St. Paul should twice call the Apostle, Cephas; and our Lord Himself in that other noble, and perverted text, when he spoke with most intense solemnity, should have called Mm, through whom He gave to the Apostolic ministry the charge to feed His sheep and lambs, simply, Simon the son of Jonas?Canon Wordsworth in his Greek Testament has a full and valuable note upon this passage; and the whole subject is most minutely treated in Bishop Andrewes' Tortura Torti Bishop Beveridge on Article xxxviii., and Barrow on the Pope's Supremacy.There is a strong temptation, in a generous confidence of the prevalence of truth, and in the evident fact that no Papal doctrine follows from it, to give to Roman Catholics the full ben efit of their interpretation of this passage. But Churchmen, diligently reading Holy Scripture and Ancient Authors, must see that they have no right to yield or surrender this ancient and well-nigh universal interpretation, from any motive or on any ground.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
