Autorenporträt

George Haven Putnam A.M., Litt.D. (April 2, 1844 - February 27, 1930) was a publisher, soldier, and writer from the United States. From 1872 to 1892, he was the president of G. P. Putnam's Sons. He was born in London, UK, the eldest son of publisher George Palmer Putnam and Victorine Haven Putnam, where his father had been living since 1841 while building a branch office for his New York City publishing company, Wiley & Putnam. The family moved back to the United States in 1848, living in Stapleton, New York, on Staten Island. Haven received his early education at home from his mother and nurse. He was first prepared for college by the Rev. Dr. Stephen H. Tyng, rector of St. George's Church, and then by his son, Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., instructor of a company of cadets. Haven then enrolled at Starr's Military Academy in Yonkers, New York. In 1857, he attended Prof. John MacMullen's school in upper New York, and in 1859, he attended Dr. Anthon's Columbia Grammar School. In 1861, he enrolled at Columbia College, but his father sent him overseas to consult oculists in Paris and Berlin due to the condition of his eyes.
