...middle-aged collection) juxtaposes Booth, Lorenz, Saxon and Koren with Thurber, Arno, Hokinson and Irvin, along with William Steig, Charles Addams and Whitney Darrow, to chronicle a half century of the idiosyncracies of the American species. If some of the cartoons seem to depend too heavily on the actual social conditions of their time, we can rely on our memories and our knowledge of human nature to see their humor...

After decades of research, Paul Horgan, novelist and Pulitzer-prizewinning historian (Great River), has attempted to separate the fictive from the actual. His triumph is due as much to a sense of place as to discernment of character. In his account, the shimmering, arid plateaus and the indomitable Gallic spirit are as palpable as they were in the novel-and as compelling...
