"Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin"


"Autobiography of Ben Franklin"

The best parts are his warm and nostalgic descriptions of walking up and into Philadelphia from the wharf area for the first time and buying bread at the Quaker meeting house. If you've been on those streets you can just imagine it! He was an old school opportunist - what we call an "entrepreneur" today. Fun to hear his rendition of the rather casual start of Univ of Pennsylvania. He does before finishing and didn't include much of his personal life. Truly would have been interesting to hear more about his fascinating life from him.
