Biographical Note

 

Gary Cartwright was born August 10, 1934 in Dallas, Texas, and raised in nearby Arlington.  He received a B.A. in journalism and government from Texas Christian University in 1957.  Cartwright reported the police beat for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram from 1956 until he was hired away in 1958 to the Fort Worth Press, where he joined Dan Jenkins and Bud Shrake in the sports department under legendary Texas sportswriter Blackie Sherrod.  In 1960, Cartwright moved to the Dallas Times Herald as a sports reporter and in 1963 he joined the Dallas Morning News to write his own sports column.  Cartwright's first book, a football novel entitled The Hundred Yard War, was published in 1967 at which point he left newspaper work to become a freelance writer.  His work has appeared in The Texas Observer, Esquire, Saturday Review, Rolling Stone and Texas Monthly.

 

Cartwright has been associated with Texas Monthly magazine since its inception in 1973.  His articles range over various topics--crime, notable Texans, Texas culture, travel, sports and international travel.  A collection of his Texas Monthly articles can be found in Confessions of a Washed-up Sportswriter.  The true-crime books Blood Will Tell and Dirty Dealing began as articles for Texas Monthly. In 1988, Cartwright had a heart attack that required quintuple-bypass surgery. A suggestion by Governor Ann Richards to document changes in his life since the injury led to his latest book, HeartWiseGuy.

 

Among the many honors Cartwright has received for his writing are the Texas Institute of Letters' Stanley Walker Award for Journalism for "The Endless Odyssey of Patrick Henry Polk" (Texas Monthly, May 1977) and the Press Club of Dallas Katie Award for Best Magazine News Story for "The Work of the Devil" (Texas Monthly, June 1989).  Cartwright has written screenplays in collaboration with Edwin (Bud) Shrake, including J. W. Coop  (1972) and Another Pair of Aces (CBS-TV, 1990).

The Gary Cartwright papers date from 1981 to 2000 and are organized into five series:  1.) Books, 2.) Plays, screenplays, and song lyrics, 3.) Articles, 4.) Correspondence, and 5.)
