General Israel Putnam: The Iron Son of 76 - Effecting His Escape from the British Dragoons This striking image captures the indomitable spirit of General Israel Putnam, a pivotal figure in the American Revolution. Known as the 'Iron General' and the 'Old Put,' Putnam's tenacity and courage were legendary. Born in 1718 in Salem, Connecticut, he rose to prominence during the French and Indian War, where he earned the nickname 'Old Put' for his ability to outwit the enemy. During the American Revolution, Putnam's military prowess was once again on display. In this print, we see him in a moment of desperation, effecting his daring escape from the British Dragoons. The scene is set in the thick of battle, with Putnam surrounded by the redcoats. Despite being outnumbered and outmatched, the general remains calm and focused, his eyes fixed on the horizon and his mind on a plan. With quick thinking and deft agility, Putnam manages to evade his pursuers, leaping over a fence and disappearing into the woods. The print captures the essence of Putnam's unyielding determination, his iron will refusing to be broken by the British forces. The American Revolution was a time of great upheaval and uncertainty, but men like Israel Putnam gave the colonists hope. His leadership and bravery on the battlefield helped turn the tide of the war, ultimately leading to American independence. This print serves as a testament to Putnam's indomitable spirit and his unwavering commitment to the cause of freedom.
