A Story By The Greatest War Correspondent Of World War Two.......2003-09-23
The Feel of Americans Fighting in WW II.......2000-06-05
Pyle was not shy in telling readers that he was never big on going on "heroic" missions just so he could write about them. He would pass on opportunities to stick his neck way out. It is interesting and ironic that Ernest Hemingway, another war correspondent, who sought any opportunity to make a hero out of himself, frequently and enviously mentions Pyle, but Pyle never mentions Hemingway. When they were both in Paris in 1944 at the Liberation, Pyle was with the GIs, Hemingway was in the Ritz Bar with the generals.
Pyle was always ready to go anyhwere with the troops, and if that meant being shot at, he just hung on with the rest of the fellows. Pyle made it clear to the readers that the real heroism was being there and sticking it out, not the particular feats of bravery that garnered the headlines and the medals. He showed all the guys (and the gals; Pyle's second love were the ladies in the uniforms) were heroes and he told the folks at home why.
There are never any "minor combat actions" for the lads and lasses under fire, and Pyle gives the feeling of that "pucker factor," when the enemy is shooting, strafing, and shelling. But he also conveys a deeper feeling that is largely missing from combat today. In the 1940s, Americans went to war knowing not just that they or their friends might die, but that our side could lose the whole war. Today, the individual American soldier knows he or she might have a "bad day," but we are all pretty sure we know who's side is going to win. In 1942 or 1943, the fate of the world was riding on those young boys Ernie Pyle loved so deeply. What is beautiful is that Ernie never had to write anything profound about why these guys were out there doing the fighting. He just told their personal stories in a way that told the whole story for all of us.
I would recommend any of Pyle's books, to be read along with a copy of the late Bill Mauldin's "Up Front," his WW II cartoons of Willie and Joe. Mauldin drew cartoon versions of the GI infantrymen that Pyle loved the most. Pyle and Mauldin are the very best way I know to introduce a young person to the Americans in World War II. Pyle and Mauldin are the words and the pictures that provide the feel, of the life and the death, the humor and sadness, the guts and the fear and the bravery, of this Greatest Generation of Americans at war. There were no two journalists as loved by combat soldiers. Without the feel that only they convey it is very hard to give the history of WW II much real human meaning.

The Adventures of the Ojibbeway and Ioway Indians
George Catlin Manufacturer: Digital Scanning ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 158218495X |
Book Description
Over 175 years ago George Catlin, American painter, writer and explorer, realized that the white settlers would eventually destroy the native cultures of North America. Devoting his life to preserving the Indian heritage, he traveled throughout the West sketching and painting hundreds of Indian portraits, village scenes, religious rituals and games. Eager to preserve the vanishing tribes and customs of the Native Americans through his art, his encounters with these fascinating people resulted in the book, The North American Indians, a collection of his letters with over 400 illustrations. Catlin toured Europe for eight years presenting his famous collection of portraits and sketches. As a result of this tour, Catlin published ADVENTURES OF THE OJIBBEWAY AND IOWAY INDIANS concentrating on these two intriguing tribes in this two-volume set.
