Description

William Henry Mauldin (October 29, 1921 – January 22, 2003) was an American editorial cartoonist who won two Pulitzer Prizes for his work. He was most famous for his World War II cartoons depicting American soldiers, as represented by the archetypal characters Willie and Joe, two weary and bedraggled infantry troopers who stoically endure the difficulties and dangers of duty in the field. His cartoons were popular with soldiers throughout Europe, and with civilians in the United States as well. However, his second Pulitzer Prize was for a cartoon published in 1958, and possibly his best-known cartoon was after the Kennedy assassination. Source: [Bill Mauldin]( on Wikipedia

A Sort of a Saga

"First published in 1949, nothing quite like this volume of personal history has ever appeared--except for Mauldin's recent sequel to this book, The Brass Ring: A Sort of a Memoir, which was an instant success and a Book-of-the-Month Club Selection. We have here a notable piece of Americana: To read it is to learn what it was like to be a boy in a family in New Mexico in the '20s, a family which always managed to be broke. Pop, whose 'projects,' as he liked to call them, included everything from tourist cabins and gold mines to the dynamiting of swamps, is the dominant character. Pop's two sons, Bill and Sid, and his uncomplaining wife make up the supporting cast. And support they do. Mauldin's first memory is (at the age of three) of being seated on the bank of a small Mexican river smoking a pack of pilfered cigarettes. With some connection made between nicotine and memory, the saga of an unorthodox childhood flows on--'its grest virtue ... Mauldinian simplicity, and unstinging bluntness.'--The New York Times. Bill Mauldin is the syndicated political cartoonist for the Chicago Sun-Times. He is the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes and many other professional awards, and is the author of numerous books, including The Brass Ring and Up Front, a national bestseller. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Chicago."--Dust jacket of 1972 reprint.
