Putnam, George Haven, 1844-1930

ix, 292 p. 21 cm

George Haven Putnam A.M., Litt.D. (1844 – 1930) was an American soldier, publisher, and author.  He was the eldest son of publisher George Palmer Putnam of the New York City publishing company, Wiley & Putnam. 

On his father's death in 1872, George H. Putnam and his brothers John Bishop Putnam and Irving took over the business, renaming it G. P. Putnam's Sons. 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.
