Books with title Bonaventure A Prose Pastoral of Acadian Louisiana

This is a light, enchanting tale of life and romance on the bayoux of Acadian Louisiana in the 19th century. Bonaventure is a Creole reared along with the Acadians. He likes to learn, and became a teacher, and his own exceptional strength of character, comes to have an ongoing influence with the persons near him. This tale has random citations to Jews and African Americans that the present-day people finds unpleasant. They are kept here in the relevance of maintaining the original writing. George Washington Cable was born on October 12, 1844 and died on January 31, 1925. He was a novelist noteworthy for the pragmatism of his interpretations of Creole life in his locale New Orleans, Louisiana. He has been referred to as "the most important southern artist working in the late 19th century, as well as the first modern southern writer." In his dealing with racism, mixed-race families and high breed, his literature has been believed to forestall that of William Faulkner. He also penned essays crucial of modern society. In line to aggression against him after two 1885 articles stimulating racial fairness and contradicting Jim Crow, George lived with his family to Northampton, Massachusetts. He settled there for the about 30 years, then went to Florida. George was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to George W. Cable, Sr., and Rebecca Boardman Cable. They were rich slaveholders who were members of the Presbyterian Church and New Orleans society, whose families had resided there after the Louisiana Purchase. First taught in private institutions, the younger George had to work after his father died at an early age. When he matured, he had financial struggles, and his family were strained. He then taught himself French. He joined the Confederate Army in the American Civil War, in which he participated to assist in the Southern cause.

Bayou Teche is the dividing line. On its left is the land of bayous, lakes, and swamps; on its right, the beautiful short-turfed prairies of Western Louisiana. The Vermilion River divides the vast prairie into the countries of Attakapas on the east and Opelousas on the west. On its west bank, at its head of navigation, lies the sorry little town of Vermilionville, near about which on the north and east the prairie rises and falls with a gentle swell, from whose crests one may, as from the top of a wave, somewhat overlook the surrounding regions.
