Ben Franklin of Old Philadelphia (Landmark Books)

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.

I always knew Benjamin Franklin was a figure of history to be admired but I never knew just how well liked he was internationally by young and old alike. This Landmark Book was a good little introduction to his life from young adulthood to end. I wish there were more men like him. A good selection for my girls in their study of early American History which I read aloud to all five.
