U.S.
Cavalry Cartoons is a collection from the work of one
of the great cartoonists of the last century, J.R. Williams.
As with most of Williams' cartoons, these reflect his
own experience. He did a stint in the U.S. Cavalry in
the early 1900s but kept coming back to this experience
over the 35 years (1922 - 1957) that he drew Out Our
Way, a cartoon that was syndicated in some 700 newspapers.
He
is best known for his gentle humor based on extensive
experiences and observations of his subject matter.
His army experience, plus the years spent as a cowboy
and, later, as a machinist, gave him unique insights
into the lives of wage workers. His cavalry cartoons
reflect the end of an era when the cavalry had been
superseded but had yet to admit it.

Born
in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1888, James Robert
Williams moved to Detroit before he started school.
At age 16 he spent 6 years drifting around the
Oklahoma Territory, working as a cowboy on several
ranches, before spending 3 years in the U.S. Cavalry.
Williams started cartooning professionally in
1922, with the daily cartoon, "Out our Way".
At the peak of his career, his quaint ranch cartoons
were carried by some 700 newspapers. During his
lifetime he published in excess of 10,000 cartoons. |

For
over a third of a century J.R. Williams was
the most popular cartoonist in North America.
While most of the other cartoons of the era
had a primary character, his daily panel, Out
Our Way, was based on the trials and tribulations
of the working class in general. It has become
a record of the evolving urban lifestyle of
families between the two world wars. Unlike
most modern cartoons, Williams' work was always
rich in detail, creating much of his humor with
facial expressions and background detail.
The
humor was both gentle and insightful as it mirrored
the lives of his readers. This sampler spans
several decades of his work when Out Our Way
was a syndicated feature in over 700 newspapers.
