F. W. Alden (1873-1955)
Frederick William Alden was born on the
28th of June, 1873 in Waseca, Minnesota.
He was a ninth generation descendant of John Alden who came to America
on the Mayflower, and the son of Rev. Edwin Hyde Alden, a friend of the Ingalls
family (popularized in Laura Ingalls Wilder's books and the "Little House
on the Prairie" television series).
F. W. Alden graduated from Wisconsin University's School of Pharmacy
with a Ph. G. degree in 1898 and a Bachelor of Science degree in 1900. Artistically talented, he did some
pen-and-ink illustrations for the '99 Badger and the frontispiece for The
Badger Pharmacist in 1900. Subsequently,
he worked in Milwaukee for the Pfister & Vogel Leather Co. as a chemist
until 1908. Then he opened a
private laboratory in Waukesha, Wisconsin, but poor health forced him to give
it up after a few years. He suffered
from a catarrh, something akin to a severe head cold that never abates.
"I tried outdoor work, gardening,
and poultry raising, but my health grew worse," Alden wrote. "In 1916 I began the study of cartoon
drawing and designing, and have continued in this work to the present
time. Since 1921 I have been reproducing
pen drawings in zinc. My health is
fairly good at present and seems to be slowly improving." From June, 1916 until June, 1918 his
editorial cartoons appeared in The Bible Champion, a Christian journal for
which he drew pithy commentaries upon the various forms of apostasy which were
affecting the church, particularly evolution and the "higher
criticism" (liberal theological revision of the Bible).
A dedicated follower of Jesus Christ, F.
W. Alden was a member of First Congregational Church in Waseca, Minnesota from
1887-94 where he sang in the choir and chamber ensemble. He continued his affiliation with this
Christian denomination when he relocated to Wisconsin. Alden was also involved in prison ministry
and outreaches to people of color (sadly, this was still the era of racial
segregation in the United States).
In 1924 he began what would become a
twenty year association with Rev. B. H. Shadduck, PhD as the principle
illustrator of Shadduck's series of booklets.
These 32 page, black-and-white, saddlestitched volumes with color covers
sold over a half million copies across the United States, their content mainly
taking evolutionists to task, especially those who profess faith in the God of
the Bible and yet see fit to embrace unbiblical theories. Dr. Shadduck's scholarly biblical,
scientific, and philosophical discourses had a wry veneer that recalled Mark
Twain or O. Henry, and in F. W. Alden's satirical (but reverent) editorial
cartoons he found a kindred spirit.
Together they commenced with the
publication of the fourth edition of Jocko-Homo Heavenbound in September,
1924. The first two editions were
printed by the Pentecostal Publishing Co. in Louisville, Kentucky in March and
April, 1924. Shadduck himself began to
publish the remaining editions, including free postcard cartoons by M. M.
Travis (see his website on the links page) with orders of the third and fourth
editions. In early 1925 Puddle to
Paradise: the Pilgrim's Progress of Modernism was released.
Response to these cartoon booklets was immediate and widespread. Jocko-Homo Heavenbound went into ten
printings (93,000 copies) and Puddle to Paradise into four (40,000
copies). Alden's cartoons alternated
between pen-and-ink renderings and zinc plate etchings.
Oddly, Jocko-Homo became the inspiration
some five decades later for a song by the same name by U.S. new wave band DEVO,
itself being a secular satire on evolution (but entirely unsympathetic to
Christianity). Even the band's name was
derived from a "D-evolution" cartoon in this booklet.
On July, 1925 the Scopes
"monkey" trial in Dayton, Tennessee became the nation's erstwhile
landmark battle of creation vs. evolution with one-time presidential candidate
William Jennings Bryan representing the former and famed Leopold-Loeb trial
attorney Clarence Darrow the latter.
Dayton was swarmed with media and street hawkers of every kind, from the
ridiculous to the sublime, and amid this carnival-like atmosphere Puddle to
Paradise proved to be the bestselling book.
Later that year Alden drew an entirely different cover for it, and he
reworked a number of interior cartoons.
Subsequent editions had a similar but not identical cover image to the
original. 1925 also saw the publication
of The Toadstool Among the Tombs which had more cartoons in it than any other
volume in the entire series.
In 1926 Alden drew cartoons for two 8
page pamphlets which were given away free with multiple orders of the larger
volumes, When Snakes Began to Nurse Their Young and 100 Questions for Teachers
of Evolution. The former was a satirical
reply to an editorial by yellow journalist Arthur Brisbane which ran in Hearst
Syndicate newspapers throughout America.
Throughout 1927 and early the next year
F. W. Alden drew cartoons for no less than four B. H. Shadduck booklets which
were simultaneously released in March, 1928:
Alibi, Lullaby, By-by, The Gee-Haw of the Modern Jehu, The "Seven
Thunders" of Millennial Dawn, and Rastus Agustus Explains Evolution. The
first two chastized America's largely slumbering church for embracing
destructive Modernist doctrines, whereas Seven Thunders, still in print today,
was the first book to take Jehovah's Witnesses to task by using their own texts
as evidence of false prophecies and teachings.
Rastus Agustus spoofed evolutionist conceits once again, but did so by
using Uncle Remus-type narration from a black college janitor, a God-fearing
family man who is momentarily befuddled by "wise" white
students. Politically incorrect today,
it was an unfortunate reflection of much of the humor that was typical of the
times. Alden redrew the cover for a
third edition in 1942.
From 1924-1931, Alden's cartoons
(usually cover art reductions, but occasionally new material) were utilized in
advertising the Shadduck booklets in the leading evangelical Christian journals
of the day, such as Moody Monthly, The Sunday School Times, The Bible Champion,
Christian Leader, and Christian Life. In
July, 1932 an Alden cartoon accompanied an advertisement for Buzzard Eggs in
the Eagle's Nest, an eight-page Shadduck pamphlet on prohibition and voters'
responsibilities.
The Sunday School Times ran "Gnat
Shy and Camel Greedy" in its January 3 and 10, 1934 issues. This was an anti-Modernist essay by B. H.
Shadduck, but it featured no Alden cartoons, nor was it ever collected as a
pamphlet or booklet. In fall 1934, Dr.
Shadduck published the second edition of The "Seven Thunders" of
Millennial Dawn with a few additional pages as a postscript, but no new
cartoons. This would be his last
literary effort of the 1930s as the effects of the Great Depression were to be
felt in full force. During this time F.
W. Alden, unmarried, was supporting his widowed mother in her nineties, working
as a commercial artist for a furniture company in Waukesha. He also sublet a portion of his home to
another family to help make ends meet.
In January,1940 B. H. Shadduck wrote an
anti-evolution editorial series with his characteristic wit and superb Bible
insights entitled "Mistakes God Did Not Make" which ran in several
issues of The Sunday School Times, having a weekly circulation of 108,500
copies in its peak years. Suddenly, Dr.
Shadduck found himself with numerous speaking engagements offered to him in
schools, churches, and public forums across the United States, kindling renewed
interest in his booklets. F. W. Alden
was once again dispatched to provide cartoons for Mistakes God Did Not Make,
published in June, 1940, their first collaboration in six years. It would go into eight printings (80,000
copies), and Irwin H. Linton, a devout Christian and a Washington, DC attorney
who argued cases before the Supreme Court, wrote a glowing introduction for the
first edition.
Dust and Deity followed October,1940,
continuing in the vein of Mistakes. Then
Man, the Harness Maker was released two years later, its themes being man's
technological advances and God's sovereign power. Though it had more Alden artwork than any
other of Shadduck's latterly-published books, only a handful of them were
editorial cartoons; the rest were small spot illustrations which relied upon
the body of text for them to fully make sense.
Stopping the Stork was a discreet but
thorough discussion of childbirth and birth control from a Biblical standpoint,
published in 1944. Early advertisements
in The Sunday School Times and Moody Monthly featured a silhouetted stork
carrying a baby wrapped in a bundle in its beak, but the baby's head, arms, and
legs, emerging from his wrappings, was soon omitted, then the bundle
itself. Perhaps the journals' publishers
were too easily embarrassed about a topic that was scarcely spoken of, let
alone advertised, in 'polite society' of that era.
Eagle Wings and Asking for the Unwanted,
a booklet on victorious living in Christ, was released in November, 1944. It featured only one cartoon by Alden,
"The Stonecutter's Blunder", a separate page glued on the inside back
cover, as if an afterthought. Dr.
Shadduck's introduction to the publication described it as "being in plain
working clothes because of wartime conditions". It may be that sufficient funds to secure
Alden's services were not available at the time of printing, or that Alden
himself was unavailable or unwell.
Though Dr. Shadduck would publish two more volumes in 1946 (Spiritism
and Kindred Beguilements and Puzzles of Genesis), they both featured cartoons
by other artists. Although Shadduck's
booklets are worth reading on their own merit, Alden's cartoons unquestionably
drew more reader interest than the text alone could have. Likewise, Shadduck's texts provided a
springboard and platform for many memorable images which Alden would perhaps
not have had opportunity to create, nor the resultant national publicity.
With already such a diverse background
and activities, it is not such a great surprise that F. W. Alden was also a
photography enthusiast, drew cartoons for his local newspapers, did some lithograph
work, and, later, carpenter work.
On September 26, 1955 Frederick William
Alden departed to be with Christ in glory.
Alden, 82, did not die in a
sickbed. Rather, he, working with
another 82 year old, fell twenty feet from a tree while stepping from one
branch to another. He died three hours
later. Diagnosed as having only a
dislocated left shoulder and kneecap, a physician thought Alden's cause of
death to have been internal injuries.
Since 1930 he had been a founding member
and an active part of what would become the Waukesha Bible Church. Part of the church's annex, built in the
1950s, is still known today as Alden Hall.

F. W. Alden (1873-1955)
Frederick William Alden was born on the
28th of June, 1873 in Waseca, Minnesota.
He was a ninth generation descendant of John Alden who came to America
on the Mayflower, and the son of Rev. Edwin Hyde Alden, a friend of the Ingalls
family (popularized in Laura Ingalls Wilder's books and the "Little House
on the Prairie" television series).
F. W. Alden graduated from Wisconsin University's School of Pharmacy
with a Ph. G. degree in 1898 and a Bachelor of Science degree in 1900. Artistically talented, he did some
pen-and-ink illustrations for the '99 Badger and the frontispiece for The
Badger Pharmacist in 1900. Subsequently,
he worked in Milwaukee for the Pfister & Vogel Leather Co. as a chemist
until 1908. Then he opened a
private laboratory in Waukesha, Wisconsin, but poor health forced him to give
it up after a few years. He suffered
from a catarrh, something akin to a severe head cold that never abates.
"I tried outdoor work, gardening,
and poultry raising, but my health grew worse," Alden wrote. "In 1916 I began the study of cartoon
drawing and designing, and have continued in this work to the present
time. Since 1921 I have been reproducing
pen drawings in zinc. My health is
fairly good at present and seems to be slowly improving." From June, 1916 until June, 1918 his
editorial cartoons appeared in The Bible Champion, a Christian journal for
which he drew pithy commentaries upon the various forms of apostasy which were
affecting the church, particularly evolution and the "higher
criticism" (liberal theological revision of the Bible).
A dedicated follower of Jesus Christ, F.
W. Alden was a member of First Congregational Church in Waseca, Minnesota from
1887-94 where he sang in the choir and chamber ensemble. He continued his affiliation with this
Christian denomination when he relocated to Wisconsin. Alden was also involved in prison ministry
and outreaches to people of color (sadly, this was still the era of racial
segregation in the United States).
In 1924 he began what would become a
twenty year association with Rev. B. H. Shadduck, PhD as the principle
illustrator of Shadduck's series of booklets.
These 32 page, black-and-white, saddlestitched volumes with color covers
sold over a half million copies across the United States, their content mainly
taking evolutionists to task, especially those who profess faith in the God of
the Bible and yet see fit to embrace unbiblical theories. Dr. Shadduck's scholarly biblical,
scientific, and philosophical discourses had a wry veneer that recalled Mark
Twain or O. Henry, and in F. W. Alden's satirical (but reverent) editorial
cartoons he found a kindred spirit.
Together they commenced with the
publication of the fourth edition of Jocko-Homo Heavenbound in September,
1924. The first two editions were
printed by the Pentecostal Publishing Co. in Louisville, Kentucky in March and
April, 1924. Shadduck himself began to
publish the remaining editions, including free postcard cartoons by M. M.
Travis (see his website on the links page) with orders of the third and fourth
editions. In early 1925 Puddle to
Paradise: the Pilgrim's Progress of Modernism was released.
Response to these cartoon booklets was immediate and widespread. Jocko-Homo Heavenbound went into ten
printings (93,000 copies) and Puddle to Paradise into four (40,000
copies). Alden's cartoons alternated
between pen-and-ink renderings and zinc plate etchings.
Oddly, Jocko-Homo became the inspiration
some five decades later for a song by the same name by U.S. new wave band DEVO,
itself being a secular satire on evolution (but entirely unsympathetic to
Christianity). Even the band's name was
derived from a "D-evolution" cartoon in this booklet.
On July, 1925 the Scopes
"monkey" trial in Dayton, Tennessee became the nation's erstwhile
landmark battle of creation vs. evolution with one-time presidential candidate
William Jennings Bryan representing the former and famed Leopold-Loeb trial
attorney Clarence Darrow the latter.
Dayton was swarmed with media and street hawkers of every kind, from the
ridiculous to the sublime, and amid this carnival-like atmosphere Puddle to
Paradise proved to be the bestselling book.
Later that year Alden drew an entirely different cover for it, and he
reworked a number of interior cartoons.
Subsequent editions had a similar but not identical cover image to the
original. 1925 also saw the publication
of The Toadstool Among the Tombs which had more cartoons in it than any other
volume in the entire series.
In 1926 Alden drew cartoons for two 8
page pamphlets which were given away free with multiple orders of the larger
volumes, When Snakes Began to Nurse Their Young and 100 Questions for Teachers
of Evolution. The former was a satirical
reply to an editorial by yellow journalist Arthur Brisbane which ran in Hearst
Syndicate newspapers throughout America.
Throughout 1927 and early the next year
F. W. Alden drew cartoons for no less than four B. H. Shadduck booklets which
were simultaneously released in March, 1928:
Alibi, Lullaby, By-by, The Gee-Haw of the Modern Jehu, The "Seven
Thunders" of Millennial Dawn, and Rastus Agustus Explains Evolution. The
first two chastized America's largely slumbering church for embracing
destructive Modernist doctrines, whereas Seven Thunders, still in print today,
was the first book to take Jehovah's Witnesses to task by using their own texts
as evidence of false prophecies and teachings.
Rastus Agustus spoofed evolutionist conceits once again, but did so by
using Uncle Remus-type narration from a black college janitor, a God-fearing
family man who is momentarily befuddled by "wise" white
students. Politically incorrect today,
it was an unfortunate reflection of much of the humor that was typical of the
times. Alden redrew the cover for a
third edition in 1942.
From 1924-1931, Alden's cartoons
(usually cover art reductions, but occasionally new material) were utilized in
advertising the Shadduck booklets in the leading evangelical Christian journals
of the day, such as Moody Monthly, The Sunday School Times, The Bible Champion,
Christian Leader, and Christian Life. In
July, 1932 an Alden cartoon accompanied an advertisement for Buzzard Eggs in
the Eagle's Nest, an eight-page Shadduck pamphlet on prohibition and voters'
responsibilities.
The Sunday School Times ran "Gnat
Shy and Camel Greedy" in its January 3 and 10, 1934 issues. This was an anti-Modernist essay by B. H.
Shadduck, but it featured no Alden cartoons, nor was it ever collected as a
pamphlet or booklet. In fall 1934, Dr.
Shadduck published the second edition of The "Seven Thunders" of
Millennial Dawn with a few additional pages as a postscript, but no new
cartoons. This would be his last
literary effort of the 1930s as the effects of the Great Depression were to be
felt in full force. During this time F.
W. Alden, unmarried, was supporting his widowed mother in her nineties, working
as a commercial artist for a furniture company in Waukesha. He also sublet a portion of his home to
another family to help make ends meet.
In January,1940 B. H. Shadduck wrote an
anti-evolution editorial series with his characteristic wit and superb Bible
insights entitled "Mistakes God Did Not Make" which ran in several
issues of The Sunday School Times, having a weekly circulation of 108,500
copies in its peak years. Suddenly, Dr.
Shadduck found himself with numerous speaking engagements offered to him in
schools, churches, and public forums across the United States, kindling renewed
interest in his booklets. F. W. Alden
was once again dispatched to provide cartoons for Mistakes God Did Not Make,
published in June, 1940, their first collaboration in six years. It would go into eight printings (80,000
copies), and Irwin H. Linton, a devout Christian and a Washington, DC attorney
who argued cases before the Supreme Court, wrote a glowing introduction for the
first edition.
Dust and Deity followed October,1940,
continuing in the vein of Mistakes. Then
Man, the Harness Maker was released two years later, its themes being man's
technological advances and God's sovereign power. Though it had more Alden artwork than any
other of Shadduck's latterly-published books, only a handful of them were
editorial cartoons; the rest were small spot illustrations which relied upon
the body of text for them to fully make sense.
Stopping the Stork was a discreet but
thorough discussion of childbirth and birth control from a Biblical standpoint,
published in 1944. Early advertisements
in The Sunday School Times and Moody Monthly featured a silhouetted stork
carrying a baby wrapped in a bundle in its beak, but the baby's head, arms, and
legs, emerging from his wrappings, was soon omitted, then the bundle
itself. Perhaps the journals' publishers
were too easily embarrassed about a topic that was scarcely spoken of, let
alone advertised, in 'polite society' of that era.
Eagle Wings and Asking for the Unwanted,
a booklet on victorious living in Christ, was released in November, 1944. It featured only one cartoon by Alden,
"The Stonecutter's Blunder", a separate page glued on the inside back
cover, as if an afterthought. Dr.
Shadduck's introduction to the publication described it as "being in plain
working clothes because of wartime conditions". It may be that sufficient funds to secure
Alden's services were not available at the time of printing, or that Alden
himself was unavailable or unwell.
Though Dr. Shadduck would publish two more volumes in 1946 (Spiritism
and Kindred Beguilements and Puzzles of Genesis), they both featured cartoons
by other artists. Although Shadduck's
booklets are worth reading on their own merit, Alden's cartoons unquestionably
drew more reader interest than the text alone could have. Likewise, Shadduck's texts provided a
springboard and platform for many memorable images which Alden would perhaps
not have had opportunity to create, nor the resultant national publicity.
With already such a diverse background
and activities, it is not such a great surprise that F. W. Alden was also a
photography enthusiast, drew cartoons for his local newspapers, did some lithograph
work, and, later, carpenter work.
On September 26, 1955 Frederick William
Alden departed to be with Christ in glory.
Alden, 82, did not die in a
sickbed. Rather, he, working with
another 82 year old, fell twenty feet from a tree while stepping from one
branch to another. He died three hours
later. Diagnosed as having only a
dislocated left shoulder and kneecap, a physician thought Alden's cause of
death to have been internal injuries.
Since 1930 he had been a founding member
and an active part of what would become the Waukesha Bible Church. Part of the church's annex, built in the
1950s, is still known today as Alden Hall.
