Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Israel Putnam: Pioneer, Ranger, and Major-General, 1718-1790 Fortunately I have had access to some original sources of information relating to Israel Putnam which have never before been used in any formal presentation of his life. These documents include his official reports as a ranger or scout in the French and Indian War; the diary which he kept on his voyage to the South; his General Orders in the Havana Campaign and the American Revolution; and letters by his own hand or dictated by him at different periods of his life. His holograph writings, characterised as they are by a greater number of literary defects than was common even in those days when men spelled incorrectly, punctuated carelessly, and used capitals with lawless frequency, plainly show that he had little training or inclination for composition. His was the education by an adventurous and purposeful life. It was this that made him a notable figure among American heroes. New light is thrown upon Putnam´s career not only by the material of which he was the author, but also by the journals, letters, and other writings of many of his comrades and associates.
