 KWCC Biography - Walker
General Walton Harris Walker was the commander of the Eighth Army in the early part of the Korean War conflict and successfully conducted the defense of the Pusan Perimeter.
Walker was reluctant to blindly press on with the attack at this point of the war, notwithstanding his past association with George S. Patton.
Compounding Walker’s problems was the separation of his command from the X Corps, which was on the eastern flank of the Korean Peninsula and commanded by the impetuous Major General Edward M. Almond.

 The General Walton Walker Society -- Forgotten Hero of Korea
Walton Harris Walker was born on 3 December, 1889 in the small town of Belton, in central Texas.
Walker was a Tactical Officer for two years and in later years he often told friends that it was one of the most pleasant and beneficial periods of his career.
Walker's cautious movement into North Korea and his concern for his vulnerable flanks were not considered by some to be normal for an officer molded in the image of General Patton, but what was not understood by the armchair generals was that Walker was aware of the possibility of Chinese intervention.

 Parameters: Patton's Bulldog: The Life and Service of General Walton H. Walker - Book Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Though most students of military history recognize the name Walton H. Walker due to his leading role in the defense of the Pusan Perimeter during the Korean War, a well-written and insightful biography of this senior commander--one that delves into the details of his long and distinguished service to the nation--has long been lacking.
Through the early portions of the book, covering Walker's development from his youth through World War I, the student of military history develops a sense of frustration with the author's treatment of General Walker, for this part of the book tends to be a simple biographical narrative of the events of his life and career.
Once in Europe, Walker was assigned to Patton's Third Army, where he deservedly established his reputation as a "Bulldog." It was in these campaigns that the leadership qualities of Walker were clearly evident.

Toland wrote to me, dated August 27, 1995, he verified my conviction that General Walker had, in fact, been "misrepresented by many authors." He wrote further that, "General Walker should be recognized as a remarkable man who faced MacArthur's poor decisions with good grace.
Toland could not have known it at the time, it was his confirmation of my suspicions and his endorsement of General Walker that finalized my decision to write this book.
During my research, I came to the conclusion that there were a number of half-truths and outright lies told for the purpose of assassinating General Walker's character and ruining his career.

The work of artists Kara Walker, Walton Ford, Shahzia Sikander will be used as the starting point to discuss how imagery informs our understanding the past, specifically controversial, provocative, or factional issues and events.
Kara Walker's cut-outs and silhouettes reference the events of the antebellum South, while Walton Ford’s paintings and prints recall 18th and 19th century naturalist images but subvert their traditional beauty with references to colonialism and eco-terrorism.
Walker states, “The silhouette lends itself to avoidance of the subject, you know, not being able to look at it directly, yet there it is, all the time, staring you in the face.” How do Walker’s images both provoke and avoid the subjects they address?
