Essay on the Life of the Honourable Major-General Israel Putnam Addressed to the State Society of the Cincinnati in Connecticut and Published by Their Order

General Israel Putnam is remembered in history and legend as exclaiming to the American soldiers at the Battle of Bunker Hill, "Don't fire 'til you see the whites of their eyes!" As Dowling notes, "All the episodes are retold -- Bunker Hill, the Battle of White Plains, the crossing of the Delaware, the Battle of Princeton -- but from the perspective of one who was there throughout, and who always permits us to see Putnam as the sort of character by whom history is, in the last analysis, made."Humphreys, David is the author of 'Essay on the Life of the Honourable Major-General Israel Putnam Addressed to the State Society of the Cincinnati in Connecticut and Published by Their Order' with ISBN 9780865972629 and ISBN 0865972621.
