Novelist (1844–1925) who served in the Confederate Army. He wrote of violence and death, of racial intermarriage, and of contradictions and complexities. He is recognized today as one the South's most acute social critics. ALS signed “Go. W. Cable,” one page, 6 x 7, personal letterhead, March 17, 1922. Letter to J. E. Boos. In part: “I wish I did not have the pleasure to say that tho I was in the Confederate Army from the latter part of 1863 to the end of the Civil War I never had the pleasure to see General R. E. Lee. All my small bit of soldiering was done in Mississippi and Alabama.” In fine condition, with a band of toning to the left border. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, filled out in Cable’s hand, and an unsigned cabinet photo. Cable enlisted in the Fourth Mississippi Cavalry at age 19, an experience that would inform much of his writing.
