An account of the Putnam publishing concerns from 1872 through 1915,with a long list of authors associated with Putnam's, and also of Putnam's personal undertakings Discusses several Presidential campaigns of the late 1800s as well as WWI.George Haven Putnam (1844-1930) was the son of G. P. Putnam. He served in the Civil War until he was captured by the Confederates in 1864; he retired with the rank of major. On his father's death he became head of G. P. Putnam's Sons. Major Putnam was active in many civic and social causes. He organized the American Publishers' Copyright League in 1887 and led the successful battle for passage of an international copyright law in 1891. Among his many books are Books and Their Makers during the Middle Ages (2 vol., 1896-97), Memories of My Youth (1914), Memories of a Publisher (1915), and Some Memories of the Civil War (1924).
Excerpt from Memories of a Publisher: 1865-1915 In 1912 I brought into publication a Memoir of George P. Putnam, in which, in addition to an estimate of the character and services of my father, I gave an account of the publishing firm founded by him, the record closing with 1872, the year of his death. In 1914, I published a volume, prepared chiefly for the information of my children and grandchildren, entitled Memories of My Youth. In this I narrated what I could remember of school days, of my experiences in French and German universities, and of the years of my service in the Civil War - a service which terminated in 1865, when with my twenty-first year, I attained citizenship. The present volume continues the account of the Putnam publishing concern from 1872; I have, however, not attempted any detailed record, for which there was, in fact, no adequate material. It seemed sufficient to make reference only to certain of the more distinctive of the publishing undertakings and to a few of the long list of authors with whom our personal relations have been important or interesting. The book continues also, from 1865 to 1915, the account of my personal undertakings and interests. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, the North assumed significant power to redefine the South, imagining a region rebuilt and modeled on northern society. The white South actively resisted these efforts, battling the legal strictures of Reconstruction on the ground. Meanwhile, white southern storytellers worked to recast the South's image, romanticizing the Lost Cause and heralding the birth of a New South. Prince argues that this cultural production was as important as political competition and economic striving in turning the South and the nation away from the egalitarian promises of Reconstruction and toward Jim Crow.
