Description
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin recounts the life of one of the most accomplished Founding Fathers of the United States; the runaway printer’s apprentice who became, over the course of his eighty-four-years, America’s most skilled inventor, writer, media baron, scientist, diplomat, and business strategist, as well as one of its most practical and ingenious political leaders.
Franklin, born into humble circumstances, was self-educated, and rose to become an inventor of note, philosopher, satirist, political theorist, statesman, and diplomat.
His contributions to American life are legendary.
His influence on science, the arts, and things we take for granted today, including public libraries, schools, hospitals, newspapers, fire departments, the post office, even our defense forces, are almost unimaginable.
