Israel Putnam fought alongside Rogers, but they were two very different men. The saying at the time was, "Putnam led [his men into battle]. Rogers sent." A new biography of Putnam is available from ETSY.

I seem to have reached a dead end, stuck with an endless repetition of the first few subjects I liked and no obvious way of adding new subjects.

Not all the good books are on Amazon, in fact some of the best wouldn't be caught dead there. These fout can be found on ETSY.
