About this audiobook
From Benjamin Franklin's birth in Boston to his election by Congress as America's first ambassador to France, the author traces the fascinating development of an impetuous and saucy youth who became a beloved man on both his native soil and throughout the world. "Few men have more claims to greatness than Benjamin Franklin. He was in his long lifetime, writer, editor and publisher, scientist and inventor, propagandist for the cause of the American colonies, statesman, diplomat. He was a wit and a humorist, a loyal friend and a good family man. From his birth in Boston as the son of a poor candlemaker to his election by Congress as America's first ambassador to France and his subsequent return to the United States, the author traces the fascinating development of an impetuous and saucy youth who became a beloved man both on his native soil and throughout the world."
