New page

'''George Haven Putnam, A.M., Litt.D.''' (April 2, 1844 – February 27, 1930) was an [[United States|American]] soldier, publisher, and author. He married [[classical scholar]] [[Emily James Smith Putnam]]. He was the father of [[Middle Ages|medieval]] historian [[Bertha Haven Putnam]], and wind power pioneer [[Palmer Cosslett Putnam]].

==Biography==
The eldest son of publisher [[George Palmer Putnam]] and Victorine Haven Putnam, he was born in [[London|London, UK]] where his father had been living since 1841 while establishing a branch office for his [[New York City]] publishing company, [[Wiley & Putnam]]. In 1848 the family returned to the United States and George Haven Putnam was educated in New York. He studied at [[Columbia University]] then in 1861 went to [[Germany]] to study at the [[Georg August University of Göttingen|University of Göttingen]]. However, with the outbreak of the [[American Civil War]] he left the university without graduating to return home to serve in the [[Union Army]].

Captured after the [[Battle of Cedar Creek]] near [[Middletown, Virginia]], George H. Putnam was held for a short time at the notorious [[Libby Prison]] in [[Richmond, Virginia]] before being transferred to [[Danville, Virginia|Danville]] where he was held until March 1865 when he was returned to the [[Union Army|Union forces]] as part of a prisoner exchange. He attained the rank of major of volunteers.<ref>{{Cite Americana|Putnam, George Haven|year=1920}}</ref> At the war's end, Major Putnam joined his father's publishing business, "G. Putnam Broadway." He was also appointed deputy collector of internal revenue.<ref>{{Cite Appleton's|Putnam, Israel|year=1900|author=[[John Fiske (philosopher)|John Fiske]]}} George Haven Putnam is discussed toward the end of this article.</ref> Years later, following the 1911 marking of the 50th anniversary of the outbreak of the war, in 1912 George H. Putnam published an account of his experiences titled "''A Prisoner of War in Virginia - An Experience in Virginia Prisons During the Last Winter of the War''."

On his father's death in 1872, George H. Putnam and his brothers [[John Bishop Putnam]] and [[Irving Putnam|Irving]] took over the business, renaming it [[G. P. Putnam's Sons]]. George H. Putnam would be made president of the firm, a position he held for the next fifty-two years. In 1884, Putnam hired the then twenty-six-year old [[Theodore Roosevelt]] as a special partner who in the ensuing years would write several works published by Putnam.

Like his father, George H. Putnam was active in numerous civic, social, and business causes. He served on the executive committees of the Civil-service reform association, the Free-trade league and the Reform club. He also aggressively continued with his father's work on [[copyright]] protection for authors. In 1887, he helped organize the American Publishers' Copyright League that led a successful campaign resulting in the 1891 passage of an international copyright protection law.

In 1899, he married [[Emily James Smith Putnam|Emily James Smith]].<ref>{{Cite journal|journal=[[The New York Times]]|date=May 6, 1899|url=http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F0061FFF395913738DDDAF0894DD405B8985F0D3|title=Mr. Putman's Loving Cup}}</ref> George H. Putnam retired in 1924, formally handing over the presidency of G. P. Putnam's Sons to [[Palmer Cosslett Putnam|Palmer C. Putnam]]. He died in 1930, aged 85.

==Attempt to publish ''The Protocols''==

The new ''Protocols'' translation intended by Putnam was eventually published by [[The Beckwith Company]] of New York.
