Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) was a highly popular illustrator for major national magazines during the first quarter of the 20th century. He created elegant pen and ink illustrations that were evocative of American life, his most popular creation being the glamorous and independent Gibson Girl. He first established her popularity in “Life” magazine in the two years 1899-1900, creating almost weekly images illustrating romantic and other relationships.

American painter and illustrator Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966) was active in the first half of the 20th century. His artistic career lasted for more than half a century and helped shape the Golden Age of illustration and American visual arts. During his career, he produced nearly 900 pieces of art including calendars, greeting cards, and magazine covers and illustrated several books still sought after today: for example, Eugene Field’s “Poems of Childhood” (1904), “Arabian Nights” (1909), “A Wonder Book and Tanglewood Tales” (1910), and “The Knave of Hearts” (1925). Parrish is said to have earned over $100,000 per year by 1910, when homes could be bought for $2,000.

This issue of Life contains an unpublished manuscript by Mark Twain, “Huck Finn & Tom Sawyer Among the Indians,” in which American fiction’s most famous boys set off on a wild adventure they never finished.
From the magazine editor’s introduction to the piece:
“From his summer retreat near Elmira, N.Y. on July 6, 1884, Mark Twain sent his business manager a request for some books – ‘personal narratives of life and adventure out yonder on the Plains and in the Mountains. I mean to take Huck Finn out there.’ The books came and on July 15 Twain noted in his journal that he was writing about Huck and Tom Sawyer ‘among the Indians 40 or 50 years ago.’
“The boys’ adventure is a vivid tale of captivity, torture, murder, pursuit and vengeance – all classic elements in western fiction, in this case enhanced by the master hand of America’s greatest story-teller. But Twain never finished it. After 18,000 words the story simply breaks off in mid-sentence, never to be completed and never, until now, to be published . . .”
“They took what they wanted . . . and they wanted the world!”
“Swashbuckling Sons of Satan! The thunder of their plundering shook the earth, the seas, the sky!”
The film follows British Navy Lieutenant Robert Maynard (Keith Andes), who sets out to earn a reward by proving that privateer Henry Morgan (Torin Thatcher) also engages in piracy. Maynard poses as a surgeon on board the ship of pirate Charles Bellamy, who he believes is in league with Morgan. Once on board, Maynard discovers that the pirate Blackbeard (Robert Newton) has murdered Bellamy and taken over as captain. Also on board is Edwina Mansfield (Linda Darnell), a pirate’s daughter, who was going to marry Bellamy. Blackbeard knows that Morgan loves Mansfield and will pursue her. [Source: Wikipedia]

The U.S. entered World War I in April, 1917. By 1918, the infusion of American troops and resources into the western front tipped the scale in the Allies’ favor and Germany signed an armistice agreement on November 11, 1918.
The Allied countries – including the United States, Britain, France, Italy and Japan – negotiated a peace treaty at the Palace of Versailles in France from January 1919 to January 2020. The final Treaty of Versailles contained 440 articles, and Germans had no choice but to accept it. Its harshness had a crippling effect on the German economy and caused German resentment. Hitler capitalized on that resentment to gain support, which led to the beginning of World War II.

“This photo of a bulletin board shows some of the clippings taken from leading U. S. newspapers during and shortly after the Lunar Orbiter I mission. Stories of the mission were given prominent play in such leading publications as the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, the Pasadena Independent, Life magazine, Time and Newsweek magazines.”
The bulletin board was likely at Boeing’s Seattle, Washington headquarters.
