Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of General Putnam This brave man, who dared the wolf in her own den, was israel putnam, who was afterwards called old put, or the iron son OF '7 6. He was born at Salem, in the State of Massachusetts, and was twenty years of age when this event took place. When a boy, he always tried to do more than the other boys of the village, and in the games of that time, such as running, jumping, wrestling, and pitching the bar, he was always ahead. Farming was then his delight, and he was often known to do the work of a man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Israel Putnam, Major-General in the Army of the American Revolution There are three sources to which the writer of biography may repair, for materials to accomplish his work. The first is an intimate personal acquaintance with his subject, derived from long intercourse, and a daily participation in the scenes which it is his purpose to describe. The next is, a detailed narrative of incidents and events, taken down from the lips of his subject, giving to his delineations the spirit and authenticity of an autobiography. The third is found in the testimony of neighbors and acquaintances, corroborated by contemporaneous history, correspondence, &c. When the veracity and honesty of the party are unimpeachable, there is no source so reliable as that which is here placed second in the list. No person can possibly be so well acquainted with the acts of another as himself. And when, to the proper appreciation of these acts, it is necessary to know something of the motives and purposes from which they sprung, and the feelings with which they were accompanied, this is the only source to which we can look. And when to this is added an intimate personal acquaintance of a compiler of approved integrity and faithfulness, it affords the highest species of evidence in favor of his narrative, which can possibly be desired.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of General Israel Putnam In 1739, Israel, and his brother-ia-law, John Pope, bought of Gov. Jonathan Belcher, a tract of land of about five hundred acres, of which he became sole owner in 1741. It was part of alarge district known as the Mortlake Manor, which, while it had special privileges of its own, was included in the territory that in 1786 was detached from Pomfret and erected into a separate and distinct township under the name of Brooklyn. Certain foundation stones, and a well and pear tree, have long marked the place where our brave pioneer built for himself his first house in Connecticut. Here was the family home, until larger aecom modations were required, when he builtthe plain, but more commodious and comfortable house to which the domestic scene was transferred and in which many years afterward the old hero died. This, with its narrow chamber in which he breathed his last, is still standing and is an object of great interest with patriot-pilgrims who year after year visit it from afar. From the outset, his fondness for agriculture and horticultural pursuits was. Conspicuously shown in the vigorous way in which he sub dued and cultivated his land, and introduced into Pomfret and its neigh borhood all its best varieties of fruit trees, while it is chiefly due to his taste, sagacity, and enterprising spirit that were planted the long lines of ornamental trees which have graced the streets and added so much to the beauty of Brooklyn. Although at first the exemptions which the owner of Mortlake Manor enjoyed created a jealousy among the inhabi tants of Pomfret and rather. Estranged him from participation in their affairs, yet his sterling worth was early recognized and his public spirit became more and more manifest. He was among the foremost in es tablishing good schools in the town and did not fail to ensure to his sons and daughters a higher education than he had received himself. Before he entered upon his military career, he joined other leading settlers in a library association which had a marked effect in developing a love of reading among the people and in elevating their general char acter/ He was not only a thrifty and highly prosperous farmer, but, from first to last, he was also an earnest and helpful friend of all the best interests of the little, but growing colony.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonel Daniel Putnam's Letter Relative to the Battle of Bunker Hill and General Israel Putnam It was from such authority that the title Of General was first conferred on Col. Putnam, and it was reciprocally kept in view, by those who gave, and him who accepted it, until the decisive moment arrived which called him from his plough to join the patriot host at Cambridge. When this time came, he loitered not, but left me, the driver of his team, to unyoke it in the furrow, and not many days after to fol low him to camp.
