Description
Inventor, politician, scientist: Benjamin Franklin was a little of every one of those roles. He began writing the story of his life to educate his son. In doing so, he left mankind one of the most readable and entertaining autobiographies ever written. Ben's early talents came out in spurts, mainly in the form of writing. He published an essay in his brother's magazine anonymously and was acclaimed for it. He ran away from home at the age of 17 and sought a new home in Pennsylvania. He struggled with some odd jobs at printing shops and took the advice of Pennsylvania Governor Sir William Keith to go to London. - from Amzon
