Description
An engraved portrait circa 1770, French. From Wikipedia: Israel Putnam (January 7, 1718 ? May 29, 1790), popularly known as "Old Put", was an American military officer and landowner who fought with distinction at the Battle of Bunker Hill during the American Revolutionary War (1775?1783). He also served as an officer with Rogers' Rangers during the French and Indian War (1754?1763), when he was captured by Mohawk warriors. He was saved from the ritual burning given to enemies by the intervention of a French officer with whom the Mohawk were allied. Putnam's courage and fighting spirit became known far beyond his home of Connecticut's borders through the circulation of folk legends in the American colonies and states celebrating his exploits.
