LC 2005-11477.	2006-05-01	1	.pdf	application/pdf	569	27	55	The book includes an introductory essay by Ari Hoogenboom, Emeritus Pro- fessor of History at Brooklyn College, City University of New York, which places Putnam’s travels in Europe in context with other “travelers [who] wished to widen their intellectual horizons and to experi- ence natural wonders,” including such notables as scholars and men of letters George William Curtis and Charles Eliot Norton, artists Mary Cassatt and James Abbott McNeill Whistler, writers Stephen Crane, Edith Wharton, and Mark Twain, and composer Edward MacDowell, to name just a few. In this collection of the transcribed and edited manuscripts of Putnam’s travel let- ters, John D. Knowlton, a retired archivist and librarian for the Library of Congress, reveals Putnam’s sense of humor, love of family as husband, father, and brother, and professional concern for keeping in touch with the Library of Congress even while on his European tour.	cache/crl-15799.pdf	txt/crl-15799.txt
