The Cavalier is a historical fiction novel written by George W. Cable. Set in the 18th century, the story follows the life of a young Frenchman named Olivier de la Marche, who travels to the American colonies in search of adventure and fortune. As he becomes embroiled in the politics and conflicts of the time, Olivier finds himself torn between his loyalty to his homeland and his growing love for the people and ideals of the new world. Along the way, he encounters a colorful cast of characters, including Native American chiefs, British soldiers, and American rebels. Through his experiences, Olivier learns about the complexities of war, love, and loyalty, and ultimately discovers where his true allegiances lie. The Cavalier is a richly detailed and engaging novel that offers a vivid portrayal of colonial America and the people who shaped its destiny.1906. Cable, American short-story writer and novelist, is known for his tales dealing with the Creoles of New Orleans. The book begins: Our camp was in the heart of Copiah County, Mississippi, a mile or so west of Gallatin and about six miles east of that once robber-haunted road, the Natchez Trace. Austin's brigade, we were, a detached body of mixed Louisiana and Mississippi cavalry, getting our breath again after two weeks' hard fighting of Grant. Grierson's raid had lately gone the entire length of the State, and we had had a hard, vain chase after him, also.

Biographie de l'auteur

George Washington Cable (October 12, 1844 – January 31, 1925) was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He served in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. At the end of the war in 1865, he went into journalism, writing for the New Orleans Picayune, where he would remain through 1879. By that time, he was a well established writer. His sympathy for civil rights and opposition towards the harsh racism of the era showed in his writings, earning him resentment by many white Southerners. Modern literary historians have said that his treatment of racism in his fiction influenced the later work of William Faulkner and Robert Penn Warren. He has been called the most important southern artist working in the late 19th century, as well as the first modern southern writer.
