Old Gimlet Eye is the autobiography of early U.S. Marine Corp
legend Smedley Butler who, at the time of his death in 1940, was
the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. Butler joined the Corps
at age 16 and took part in critical military actions in Cuba, the
Philippines, China, Central America, Mexico and France. A veteran
of both the Spanish-American War and World War I, Butler s candid
narrative (assisted in the writing by author Lowell Thomas) offers
unique insight into the early history of the Marine Corps, making
Old Gimlet Eye essential reading for military scientists and fans
of military biographies.
Lowell Thomas Jr. is a famed Alaskan who made his mark as a Bush
pilot and by serving in state government, but who also has had a
lifetime’s worth of adventures that have taken him around the
world. Thomas, now eighty-nine, and living in Anchorage, is the son
of one of the most widely known Americans of the twentieth century,
and his connection to Lowell Thomas Sr. (1892-1981) enabled him to
jump-start his life of adventure at a very early age. From the time
he was fifteen, Lowell Thomas Jr. has been involved in a series of
journeys that have seen him cross paths with many famous lives and
take part in many historic events.
