Thomas Nast. Political cartoonist. Lynda Pflueger.
Thomas Nast. Political cartoonist. Lynda Pflueger. 2014. ISBN The life of a very influential cartoonist during the time of Tammany Hall, President Grant and many others. Thomas Nast was extremely popular and influential in his day. As most people could not read, cartoons made a huge impact. I learned that he rally stood his ground on principles to create a better place and rid public life of the corrupt influences endemic in his times. AN east quick read, It is non the less informative and illustrative of the times. I think democracies still need people like Nast to point out the human foibles as fewer people read for substance and mostly get drowned in information. Hopefully there are people like Nast able to work in countries like China, Myanamar, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq as well as the US.
