Biographical/Historical Note
The American newspaperman, author and public relations executive, John Thomas (Tom) Mahoney was born in Dallas, Texas on December
3, 1905. His initial
college career, at Southern Methodist University, was cut short when he was expelled from the school following the publication
of
The Dinkey, an April Fools' Day campus newspaper, in 1924. Mahoney resumed his studies at the School of Journalism, University of Missouri,
where he lettered in track and was sports editor of
The Savitar, the university's yearbook.
Following his graduation in 1927 Mahoney went to work for the
El Paso Herald (later
El Paso
Herald-Post
) where, within six months, he attained the position of city editor. Thus, he was ideally positioned to cover the 1929 Escobar
Rebellion during which Ciudad Juárez, El Paso's port of entry across the Rio Grande, was captured and briefly held by the
Federalist Mexican General,
Don José Gonzalo Escobar, and his forces in rebellion against Mexico's post-revolutionary government of Emilio Portes Gil.
Mahoney continued his newspaper career as Texas manager and night division news editor in Kansas City for the United Press
(UP; now United Press
International, UPI) from 1930 to 1934 and was on the staff at the
Buffalo Times from 1934 to 1936. From there he went on
to work in magazines, holding postions of editor of
Mechanix Illustrated from 1936 to 1937 and as associate editor for
Look from 1937 to 1939. Mahoney then began a career in public relations, starting with the General Electric Company in
1939, where he worked until 1943. He also worked for the overseas Branch of the Office of War Information in 1943 before returning
for another magazine
stint as an associate editor at
Fortune magazine from 1943 to 1945. Mahoney concluded his career in public relations at
Young and Rubicam from 1948 to 1956 and at Dudley-Anderson-Yutzy from 1956 to 1958.
Throughout his career Mahoney was a frequent contributor to magazines such as
The Saturday Evening Post,
The New Yorker,
Esquire, and
The Atlantic Monthly. The first of
Mahoney's nine published books was
Public Relations for Retailers (1949). In addition to writing several other books on
retail merchants and American big business, he coauthored
The Story of George Romney with Romney (1960);
The Longest Auto Race with George Schuster, a member of the race's winning Thomas Flyer crew (1966); and
I'm a Lucky One with Barry Sadler, who co-wrote (with Robin Moore) and recorded the Vietnam war-era "Ballad of the Green
Berets" (1966).
In 1930, Mahoney married his first wife, Grace Dooley, and they had one daughter. He married his second wife, the feminist
writer Caroline Bird, in
1957, and they had a son. Mahoney died in Poughkeepsie, New York on July 17, 1981.

Small collections of Tom Mahoney papers are held at the following repositories: The State Historical Society of Missouri,
collection no. C3036; The
American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming, collection no. 04285; the University of Texas at El Paso Library, MS
026; the Franklin D.
Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum (no collection number); the Detroit Public Library; and the University of Virginia,
MS 9859-C.
The focus of the Missouri collection is on Mahoney's college days and his career as a newspaperman in Texas and New York,
while the Wyoming collection
contains Mahoney's research materials related to early aviation and automobile transportation. Biographical materials on Mahoney
and George Schuster are
found in the collection at University of Texas, El Paso, as are a manuscript and related materials of
I'm a Lucky One
(1967), written by Staff Sargeant Barry Sadler and co-authored by Mahoney.
The Roosevelt Library's "Tom Mahoney Papers Relating to Jay 'Ding' Darling" comprises Mahoney's research and writings on the
American political
cartoonist and wildlife conservationist known as Ding. Detroit's "Romney-Mahoney Papers" in the Burton Historical Collection
comprise materials
collected by Mahoney for his book on George Romney. The "Papers of Tom Mahoney on the Everleigh Sisters and the Everleigh
Club" are at the University of
Virginia.
Scope and Content of Collection
The bulk of the collection comprises materials related to an unpublished book by Mahoney with the working title "P-a-n-c-h-o
V-i-l-l-a:
Bandit...Rebel...Patriot...Satyr." Mahoney apparently began working on the book sometime in the late 1920s while he was working
at the
El Paso Herald. A small amount of correspondence indicates that he was already looking for potential publishers during 1929
and 1930. A carbon copy of a 1964 letter to "Grail" from Mahoney, responding to comments on the Villa manuscript, indicates
that Mahoney was still
working on this project in the early 1960s. Unlike most of his books, which were work for hire or co-authored publications,
the Villa manuscript seems
to have been a personal project for Mahoney.
Series I, Pancho Villa project, contains materials related to this book. A partial typescript for the book, including a table
of contents and chapters
I-IV and X, is included in the series. The table of contents lists 25 chapters and there are the same number of chapters indicated
in the accompanying
paste-up of photographic illustrations. Two extensive files of hand- or-typewritten notes and transcriptions comprise the
remainder of the manuscript
material. Correspondence regarding the book includes discussion of potential publishers and various aspects of the Pancho
Villa story.
The photographs focus on the movements of Villa from 1910 until his death in 1923. His activities throughout northern Mexico,
beginning with his
involvement in the Madero insurrection are documented, as are other key moments in his history including his 1914 triumphal
entry into Mexico City with
Emiliano Zapata; his 1916 raid on Columbus, New Mexico; the subsequent U.S. Punitive Expedition; his "surrender" or "retirement"
in 1920; and his
assassination in 1923. In addition to photographs of Villa and his wife Luz Corral, images of prominent figures of the Revolution
include Francisco
Madero, Raúl Madero, Venustiano Carranza, Abraham González, Giuseppe Garibaldi II, Victoriano Huerta, Álvaro Obregón, Pascual
Orozco, Toribio Ortega,
and Luis Terrazas. Also present are American writers Ambrose Bierce and Jack London and other reporters who witnessed the
revolution. Other photographs
depict the revolutionary, Federal, and American forces; and the preparation for and aftermath of various battles. The bulk
of the photographs are by
unidentified photographers. Known photographers represented here include: Jim A. Alexander, Hugo Brehme, Casasola, Walter
E. Hadsell, Antonio Garduño,
R. M. Metcalfe; Homer Scott, Villegas, and Alexander & Green.
Research materials include extensive files of clippings from revolution-era and post-revolution Mexican and American newspapers.
Post-revolution
serials containing stories about the revolution, maps of Mexico, and lists of books on Mexico complete the research materials.
There is also a small
amount of research-related correspondence.
Related manuscripts and publications conclude the series. While it is unclear whether two apparently unpublished articles
"The Rupture between Don
Venustiano Carranza and General Villa" and "The Romance of Pancho Villa" were written by Mahoney, they are certainly on topics
that feature in the table
of contents of his book. Another such topic is Villa's 1916 raid on Columbus, New Mexico. Research materials, copies of articles
by Mahoney on this
subject, and correspondence regarding his articles are also present here.
Series II, Other projects and research files, contains research files on topics of interest to Mahoney, many of which relate
to his book and magazine
publications, such as
The Great Merchants and
The Story of Jewelry, co-authored with
Marcus Baerwald. Also included is a partial typescript for Baerwald's unpublished [?] memoir, "Diamonds and Texans: A Memoir
of Seventy Years in
Jewelry." Files on topics pertaining to Mexico and Texas, but not related to Pancho Villa and the Mexican Revolution, comprise
the bulk of the series.
Much of the material is in the form of newspaper clippings. There is some research-related correspondence and a small amount
of manuscript or typescript
material. A small file of personal papers is also included.

Arrangement
Arranged topically with the manuscript and corresponding photographs at the beginning of the series. The research files were
created by the
archivist who organized them into general topics from a mass of unarranged materials.
Scope and Contents
The series comprises materials related to an unpublished book by Mahoney with the working title "P-a-n-c-h-o V-i-l-l-a:
Bandit...Rebel...Patriot...Satyr." Mahoney apparently began working on the book sometime in the late 1920s while he was working
at the
El Paso Herald. A small amount of correspondence indicates that he was already looking for potential publishers during
1929 and 1930. A carbon copy of a 1964 letter to "Grail" from Mahoney, responding to comments on the Villa manuscript, indicates
that Mahoney was
still working on this project in the early 1960s. Unlike most of his books, which were work for hire or co-authored publications,
the Villa
manuscript seems to have been a personal project for Mahoney.
A partial typescript for the book, including a table of contents and chapters I-IV and X, is included in the series. The table
of contents lists 25
chapters and there are the same number of chapters indicated in the pasted-up illustrations. There are 84 photographs in the
paste-up and an
additional 49 unassigned photographs. Two extensive files of hand- or-typewritten notes and transcriptions comprise the remainder
of the manuscript
material. Correspondence regarding the book includes discussion of potential publishers and of various aspects of the Pancho
Villa story.
The photographs focus on the movements of Villa from 1910 until his death in 1923. His activities throughout northern Mexico,
beginning with his
involvement in the Madero insurrection are documented, as are other key moments in his history including his 1914 triumphal

Research materials include extensive files of clippings from revolution-era and post-revolution Mexican and American newspapers.
Most of the
sources are unidentified for these. Post-revolution serials containing stories about the revolution, maps of Mexico and lists
of books on Mexico
complete the research materials. There is also a small amount of research-related correspondence.
Related manuscripts and publications conclude the series. While it is unclear whether two apparently unpublished articles
