ISRAEL PUTNAM

 
Hartford, CT – This is a statue of the famous Israel Putnam. He lived quite an interesting life; the stuff that folklore is made of. He fought in the French and Indian War and was a General in the Revolutionary War. You might know him for his famous quote quoted on Breeds Hill, “Don’t fire till you see the whites of their eyes”. Instead of trying to summarize what I read about him, go to this web page and read some interesting things about Israel Putnam. www.curbstone.org
