Book excerpt: "This book is major retrospective showing of the work of a man whose drawings were among the liveliest, best-liked, and most influential comments on the American scene for more than fifty years. "Ding" Darling was on of America's greats -- a man who found much to marvel at in this most remarkable half century of civilization's many, and much to lament or to laugh about too. For many years Ding recorded the American and world scenes in daily cartoons, first at the Des Moines Register. His work was also nationally syndicated, appearing in over a hundred papers throughout America. Twice he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Ding's Half Century is arranged in six parts, each with a general introduction. The captions by John M. Henry provide a framework of history and give additional sharpness and depth to the pictures themselves."--book jacket.
