30. Grandissimes. George Washington Cable.

30.  We discuss The Grandissimes, by George Washington Cable.  Perhaps Cable's best-known work, The Grandissimes is set in New Orleans at the time of the Louisiana Purchase.  Travel back to a time of duels, gambling, masked balls, voudou, Papa Lébat, plaçage, corsairs, and, of course, yellow fever.
