From runaway apprentice to elder statesman, Benjamin Franklin charts the making of a mind and a nation. Franklin writes with disarming clarity. At once a classic american autobiography and an intimate founding father memoir, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin follows his journey as printer, experimenter, and civic leader, a self-made success story shaped by deliberate habit and reflection.
