  • Bill Mauldin Stamp Honors Grunts' Hero
    1 Bill Mauldin Stamp Honors Grunts’ Hero Willie, Joe, and Bill… We’ll never forget. The post office gets a lot of criticism. Always has, always will. And with the renewed push to get rid of Saturday mail delivery, expect complaints to intensify. But the United States Postal Service deserves a standing ovation for something that’s going to happen this mo th (i.e. Mar 2010): Bill Mauldin is getting his own postage stamp. Maulden in 1945 In 1956, he ran unsuccessfully for the United States Congress as a Democrat in New York's 28th Congressional District. Mauldin had this to say about his run for Congress: "I jumped in with both feet and campaigned for seven or eight months. I found myself stumping around up in these rural districts and my own background did hurt there. A farmer knows a farmer when he sees one. So when I was talking about their problems I was a very sincere candidate, but when they would ask me questions that had to do with foreign policy or national policy, obviously I was pretty far to the left of the mainstream up there. Again, I'm an old Truman Democrat, I'm not that far left, but by their lives I was pretty far left." Mauldin died at age 81 in the early days of 2003. The end of his life had been rugged. He had been scalded in a bathtub, which led to terrible injuries and infections; Alzheimer’s disease was inflicting its cruelties. Unable to care for himself after the scalding, he became a resident of a California nursing home, his health and spirits in rapid decline.

  • Company A, 276Th Infantry in World War Ii
    COMPANY A, 276TH INFANTRY IN WORLD WAR II FRANK H. LOWRY Library of Congress Catalogue Card Number 94-072226 Copyright © 1991, 1994,1995 by Frank H Lowry Modesto, California All rights reserved ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This writing was started in 1945 in Europe following the cessation of hostilities that brought about an end to World War II. Many of the contributors were still together and their wartime experiences were fresh in their memories. It is the first hand account of the men of Company A, 276th Infantry Regiment, 70th Infantry Division which made history by living and participating in the bitter combat of the Ardennes-Alsace, Rhineland and Central Europe Campaigns. I humbly acknowledge my gratitude to the many veterans of those campaigns who provided valuable contributions to this book. A special note of appreciation goes to the following former soldiers of Company A who contributed significantly to this work. Without their input and guidance, this book could not have been written. Richard Armstrong, Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota Russell Causey, Sanford, North Carolina Burton K. Drury, Festus, Missouri John L. Haller, Columbia, South Carolina Daniel W. Jury, Millersburg, Pennsylvania Lloyd A. Patterson, Molalla, Oregon William J. Piper, Veguita, New Mexico Arthur E. Slover, Salem, Oregon Robert I. Wood, Dallas, Texas The assistance of Edmund C. Arnold, author and Chester F. Garstki, photographer of “The Trailblazers,” was very helpful in making it possible to illustrate and fit the military action of Company A into the overall action of the 70th Infantry Division. A word of thanks goes to Wolf T. Zoepf of Pinneberg, Germany for providing significant combat information from the point of view of those soldiers who fought on the other side.

    LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Volume 17, No. 43 A Weekly Newspaper for the Library Staff October 27, 2006 CFC Campaign Begins By DOROTHY COLEY The 2006 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) will begin with a staff rally at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 1, in the Mumford Room, LM 649. This year’s theme is “Be a Star in Someone’s Life.” The “Kick-Off” is the launching point of the campaign, designed to motivate staff members to begin thinking about contributing to their favorite organizations, or to consider new charities that reach out and help others.

(1916 - 1980) Extent: 5.0 Cubic Feet Arrangement: This collection has been arranged chronologically and into six series: Series 1: Sketchbooks and Sketches, 1961-1980 Series 2: Punch Magazine, 1950s-1960s Series 3: Projects and Ideas, 1945-1979 Series 4: Personal Material, 1960-1970 Series 5: Other Artists Work, 1950s-1970s Series 6: Finished Editorial Cartoons, 1963-1980 Date Acquired: 10/00/2005. Subject Index: editorial cartoons Genres/Forms of Material: personal papers Languages: English Scope and Contents of the Materials The collection contains sketchbooks, original drawings, and photomechanically reproduced drawings by editorial cartoonist John Fischetti. A small amount of work by other artists is also in the collection, including: Pat Oliphant, Bill Mauldin, and Walt Scott. Writing on his editorial cartoon sketchbooks in his autobiography, Fischetti stated "Before 1961 I used to doodle ideas on the backs of envelopes, scraps of paper and yellow copy paper... Since even half-formed ideas are invaluable, I decided to use layout pads for the gestating periods. By dating each page, it turned out to be a sort of log of historical and personal events." (Zinga, Zinga, Za!) The collection strength lies in the working notebooks as these illustrate Fischetti's creative process. Biographical Note John Fischetti was born in Brooklyn in 1916 and died in Chicago in 1980. After graduating from Pratt Institute, he went to work for Disney Studios as an animator and later moved to Chicago where he was an illustrator for the Chicago Sun.

  • Lincoln's Ghosts
    LINCOLN’S GHOSTS: THE POSTHUMOUS CAREER OF AN AMERICAN ICON Kimberly N. Kutz A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: John F. Kasson W. Fitzhugh Brundage Bernard Herman David Morgan Heather A. Williams ©2013 Kimberly N. Kutz ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT KIMBERLY NOELLE KUTZ: Lincoln’s Ghosts: The Posthumous Career of an American Icon (Under the direction of Professor John F. Kasson) American cultural productions repeatedly have depicted Abraham Lincoln as “living on” as a spirit after his assassination in 1865. The unprecedented death toll of the Civil War coupled with the uncertain future of African American citizenship in the years after the war led Americans, both black and white, to imagine and reimagine how a living Lincoln would have responded to contemporary issues in the United States. As they grappled with Lincoln’s legacy for American race relations, artists, writers, and other creators of American culture did not simply remember Lincoln but envisioned him as an ongoing spiritual presence in everyday life. Immediately after the Civil War, when the American Spiritualist movement encouraged the bereaved to believe that departed loved ones watched over and comforted the living, popular prints and spirit photography depicted Lincoln’s ghost remaining to guide the American people. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, actors who played Lincoln on the American stage presented themselves as embodied forms of his spirit, in the process eschewing Lincoln’s political achievement of Emancipation in favor of sentimental portrayals of his boyhood and family life.

  • Cartoons Through the Years, Part Two
    Cartoons Through the Years, Part Two When it comes to cartoons in New Orleans, one cannot say enough about the achievements of John Chase (1905 – 1986). Upon his death in 1986, the Times-Picayune/States-Item wrote: “Few people transcend the status of ordinary citizen to become venerated insitutions. John Churchill Chase was such a person. A cartoonist, illustrator, scholar and historian, Mr. Chase had become a New Orleans institution long before his death.” John Churchill Chase, pipe in hand, at his drawing board The tribute also emphasized his “keen sense of humor” and mentioned his time as “editorial cartoonist for The States-Item and later for WDSU-TV.” His “wit that he directed at politicians and other public fugures was more subtle than savage,” and his “long and distinguished career” drawing “more than 15,000 cartoons since 1925” brought him honors “in abundance.” One included “national recognition for a cartoon after the devastating Mississippi River flood of 1927.” His best known book, Frenchmen, Desire, Good Children … And Other Streets Of New Orleans!, cleverly and breezily tells the history of the Crescent City by means of its street nomenclature. It won the 1949 Louisiana Literary Award and remains an ever-popular local gem. Two great histories, written and illustrated by Chase After graduating from Isidore Newman in New Orleans, Chase attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts (founded 1878).
