Nast, Thomas 1840- Artist; born in Landau, Bavaria, Sept. 27, 1840; came with his parents to the United States at an early age; and was educated in public schools. He began his artist career in the office of Frank Leslie's illustrated newspaper, where he became a sketch artist and illustrator on wood. In 1860-61 he was an art correspondent with Garibaldi for American and British newspapers. Subsequently he became widely noted as a political cartoonist on Harper's weekly. His cartoons on the Tweed Ring in New York City had a large influence in the destruction of that corrupt organization, and it was one of his caricatures of Tweed that caused the identification and arrest in Spain of the Tammany leader, after he had escaped from Ludlow Street jail in New York City. Mr. Nast also acquired wide popularity as a lecturer from his habit of illustrating his discourses with caricatures drawn before his audience.

in, and garrisoned them with 800 men, under Colonel Maitland. These were attacked (June 12, 1779) by about 1.200 of Lincoln's troops, in an attempt to dislodge the British. The contest was severe for more than an hour. Maitland was reinforced, and the Americans were compelled to retreat. When they fell back, the whole garrison sallied out to pursue, but the American light-horse covered the retreat so skilfully that all the wounded patriots were taken away by their friends. The Americans lost, in killed and wounded, 146, besides 155 missing; the British loss was somewhat less. Three days afterwards the British evacuated Stono Ferry, and retreated from island to island to Beaufort, on Port Royal Island, and thence by boats to Savannah. In a skirmish here, September, 1782, with a British foraging party, sent out of Charleston by General Leslie, Captain Wilmot, commanding the Americans, and accompanied by Kosciuszko, was killed. His was the last blood shed in the Revolutionary War.
