The First American: The Life And Times Of Benjamin Franklin
by H.W. Brands
Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize
New York Times bestseller
The foremost American of his day, Benjamin Franklin was a pivotal figure during America's transition from British colony to the new independent nation of America. In H.W. Brands' masterful biography, he comes vividly to life. Franklin was a printer, a scientist, an inventor, a politician and a diplomat. A generation older than the Founding Fathers, his opinions and wisdom were invaluable to patriots such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry. He helped draft the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The First American is the grand story of an exceptional man who is an icon in the history of America.
