*Illustrated with over a dozen pictures of Franklin and other Founding Fathers
*Includes Table of Contents
*Includes an Introductory Note and Timeline from Harvard Classics Volume 1
Before the United States of America even existed, the first American celebrity was Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790). In his career, Franklin was an author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, musician, inventor, satirist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As the first American celebrity and the young nation’s best diplomat, Franklin was particularly revered in Enlightened France, where he skillfully negotiated French entry into the Revolutionary War, a critical step that helped the colonists win their independence.
Franklin’s lengthy career and magnificent exploits are well known by all Americans, but nobody could write about it more poignantly than the great man himself. Franklin’s autobiography is required reading for anyone interested in Colonial America, the Founding Fathers, the Constitutional Convention, and all the other important moments that brought about the 13 colonies’ freedom from the mighty British empire.
This edition of Franklin’s autobiography includes over a dozen pictures of Franklin, the Founding Fathers, and more. It also includes a Table of Contents for easier navigation.
