Cable gathers narratives drawn from old manuscripts and court records: two French sisters who travel by flatboat and bayou through the Louisiana wilds in 1795, a woman’s diary of Union loyalty in wartime New Orleans and Vicksburg, and the case of Salome Müller, a German immigrant child held as a slave for years before the courts heard her claim.
