The amazing life of Ben Franklin--inventor, printer, editor, statesman, ambassador, and arguably one of the most important Americans in history--is depicted with warmth and insight.
Benjamin Franklin was one of the busiest men in the American colonies. He was a printer, a postmaster, an inventor, a writer, and a diplomat. When the Revolutionary War began, Ben supported America in the Continental Congress. Like the clever adages from his Poor Richard's Almanac, Ben Franklin still sets an example for Americans today.
