Excerpt from The Life of Israel Putnam
This biography is written with the following purposes in mind: - To furnish from the pages of the world's history an example of true manhood, lofty purpose, and persevering effort, such as may be safely held up either for the admiration or emulation of the youth of the present day;
To clear away, in his treatment of this subject, whatever mistiness and mustiness may have accumulated with time about them, presenting to the mental vision fresh and living pictures, that shall seem to be clothed with naturalness, and energy, and vitality;
To offer no less instruction to the minds, than pleasure to the imaginations of the many for whom he has taken it in hand to write;
And, more especially, perhaps, to familiarize the youth of our day with some of those striking and manly characters, that have long ago made their mark, deep and lasting, on the history and fortunes of the American Continent.
