Biography

Harold and Beatrice Putnam were the husband and wife team behind the Putnam Feature Services whicoperated out of Detroit, Michigan. Harold was the photographer and Beatrice was the writer. Togetherthey pooled their talents in the publication of books, brochures, travel guides, film strips, and slide shows.Their first publication was an assignment from the Copper Country Vacationist League, "We Fell in Lovewith Keweenawland in Michigan's Upper Peninsula." It's title set the tone for all their promotions of theUpper Peninsula. Their most ambitious project was the publication of "North to Adventure in Michigan'sUpper Peninsula," published and distributed at their expense. Their objective was to produce a touristguide from the standpoint of the tourist, using themselves as guinea pigs as opposed to the subsidizedpublications featuring the county point of view. It quickly became a recommended teaching aid andreference text and served as the inspiration for their film strip "Exploring Michigan's Upper Peninsula,"produced by the University of Michigan. As a result, three film strips were produced and marketed,including "Winter Carnival in Michigan's Upper Peninsula," featuring the snow statues at MichiganTechnological University's Winter Carnival. The Putnams retired to the Keweenaw, buying a summerhouse in Eagle Harbor.
