In 1884, Cable joined his neighbor [[Mark Twain]] in a national reading tour. In 1885, he settled in Northampton in Hampshire County,  [[Massachusetts]], where he remained for most  of his life. His literature depicting the New Orleans plantation country was particularly appreciated in the North. There readers generally considered his work as superior regional literature. However many in New Orleans, especially the [[Creole]]s, challenged his description of southern attitudes and practices such as race relations in the era after [[Reconstruction]].
