What type of details about thomas nast  can be gathered from the following bio?  Bio: thomas nast -lrb- september 27 , 1840 -- december 7 , 1902 -rrb- was a german-born american caricaturist and editorial cartoonist considered to be the `` father of the american cartoon '' . he was the scourge of democratic representative `` boss '' tweed and the tammany hall democratic party political machine . among his notable works were the creation of the modern version of santa claus and the political symbol of the elephant for the republican party . contrary to popular belief , nast did not create uncle sam -lrb- the male personification of the american people -rrb- , columbia -lrb- the female personification of american values -rrb- , or the democratic donkey , though he did popularize these symbols through his artwork . nast was associated with the magazine `` harper 's weekly '' from 1859 to 1860 and from 1862 until 1886 . albert boime argues that : as a political cartoonist , thomas nast wielded more influence than any other artist of the 19th century . he not only enthralled a vast audience with boldness and wit , but swayed it time and again to his personal position on the strength of his visual imagination . both lincoln and grant acknowledged his effectiveness in their behalf , and as a crusading civil reformer he helped destroy the corrupt tweed ring that swindled new york city of millions of dollars . indeed , his impact on american public life was formidable enough to profoundly affect the outcome of every presidential election during the period 1864 to 1884 .
