Excerpt from Dictionary of American Biography, Vol. 19: Troye-Wentworth Truman, benjamin cummings (oct. 25, 1835 - July 18, journalist, author, eld est Son of Henry Hammond Truman and his first wife, Susan (cummings), and a descendant of Joseph Truman who settled in New London (conn.) about 1666, was born in Providence, R. I. He attended public school there and a Shaker school in Canterbury, N. H., and at seventeen took charge for a year of a district school in Merrimack County, N. H. Returning to Provi dence, he learned typesetting, and from 1855 um til late in 1859 was a compositor and proofreader on the New York Times. In the latter year he entered the employ of John W. Forney of Philadelphia, publisher of the Press, and in 1861 went to Washington to work on Forney's Sun day Morning Chronicle. Upon the outbreak of the Civil War he was sent to the front as a cor respondent and in March 1862, declining a com mission in a regiment of volunteers, became an aide on the staff of Andrew Johnson, military governor of Tennessee. Nominally he so re mained until near the end of the war, though his talent for doing many things at the same time enabled him to render distinguished service as a correspondent and to serve from time to time on the staffs of Generals J. S. Negley, John H. King, and Kenner Garrard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
