William Woodward (1859-1939) was a force in New Orleans and the art world, and his legacy endures. In this first compilation of examples of Woodward's work spanning his career, essayists offer unique perspectives on the artist and his art. Woodward was a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and the Massachusetts Normal Art School. He started the School of Art and organized the Department of Architecture at Tulane University, and he taught evening art classes to citizens of New Orleans. His oil crayon paintings of the French Quarter were instrumental in preserving the French Quarter buildings from destruction, and he was a leader in the Arts and Crafts movement in New Orleans. He was a member of the American Institute of Architects. Woodward also organized the Art Association of New Orleans and the Decorative Art League for Women, which founded the manufacture of art pottery in New Orleans. Woodward was a prolific artist and pioneered new techniques with his use of the Rafaelli oil crayon and the fiberloid dry etching process. Upon his retirement from Tulane in 1922, Woodward moved to Biloxi, Mississippi, where his paintings of the Mississippi Gulf Coast provide a historical record of an area now almost entirely changed by development and natural disasters. Woodward also traveled extensively and chronicled his travels in his art.

WILLIAM E. WOODWARD Tears of Madness FOUNDED 1838 G. P. Putnam s Sons New York Foreword IT HAS not been my intention, in writing this book, to set forth, a complete detailed history of the Civil War, for that has already been done many times by competent historians. What I have had in mind, in writing the book, is to reveal the utter and cruel absurdity of the war, and to show h. 6w it could have been avoided without loss to any American citizen. There is hardly anything in modern history that was so abso lutely foolish as this War Between the States. Moreover, even after the war began there were numerous occasions when it might have been ended with great satisfaction to both sides. But these occasions were neglected, or rejected with scorn from both opponents in the desperate, costly, and bloody struggle. W. E. WOODWABJ My husband was forty-six years old before he began to write professionally. Until then he had been in the advertising busi ness and banking. These he had approached in the spirit of highhanded, but concealed comedy, and his favorite character in Shakespeare during that time was, significantly, Falstaff. In the same spirit of lively comedy he wrote his first three books all of which are now, I regret to say, out of print the novels, Bunk, Lottery, and Bread and Circuses. ll MU. J V - Years of Madriess But when the darker clouds of the late twenties, the failure of the Socialist dreams, the depression and tightening of life fell upon us all, he turned to history and biography. These he never approached in his earlier spirit of mockery. He had always been deeply absorbed in American history. He felt about American history, in which his family had par ticipated so much, theway most of us feel about a family album. At the age of eight he encountered his first book on history. This was a volume showing that the South won the War Between the States, and it took the boy quite a spell to realize that this was not necessarily so. In 1928, he turned his attention to the writing of American history, which he approached and treated as the serious work of his life. Naturally the humor and irony that were part of his temperament remained, but with them a great sense of objectivity and responsibility toward his work. When he died in 1950, he left behind him this book about the Civil War. If his major interest had been American history, its high point with him had always been this war. He did not live long enough to make . those final revisions that such work de mands, and I wish to thank Dr. James Rawley, a young his torian, now teaching American history at New York University, for help in these final revisions.

It is true and sadly so in the long stretch of history, that there are times when men must fight for their very exist ence, such as the wars against savages when not only human life but civilization itself is at stake. But there are not many such periods most wars have so little common sense behind them that a student of life cannot fail to suspect that the human race as a whole is insane...

In 1955, Ann Woodward shot her husband, Billy, in their Oyster Bay, Long Island, home. While she was cleared by a grand jury, which believed her story that she had mistaken Billy for a prowler who had been recently breaking into neighboring houses, New York society was convinced that she had deliberately murdered Billy and that her formidable mother-in-law, Elsie Woodward, had covered up the crime to prevent further scandal to the socially prominent family. The incident became fiction in Truman Capote's malicious 1975 Esquire story, leading to Ann's suicide, and later was the subject of Dominick Dunne's The Two Mrs. Grenvilles. Now, after years of research, Braudy reveals the truth behind the legend. Tracing Ann's life from her difficult Kansas childhood through her early years as a model and aspiring actress to her stormy marriage to Billy Woodward and the sad years of her social exile after his death, Braudy shows how Ann, a victim of cruel gossip and class snobbery, could not have deliberately killed Billy.
