Summary:
One of America's greatest patriots, a framer of the Declaration of Independence, a statesman whose charm and tact played a tremendous role in securing for the Colonists the aid of France during the Revolutionary War, Benjamin Franklin was also a skilled scientist, author, editor, publisher and printer. Beloved among his many writings was the series of Poor Richard's Almanacs, published annually between 1732 and 1758 in issues as large as 10,000 on a hand press. The volumes quickly gained a wide and appreciative audience, and their homespun, practical wisdom exerted a pervasive influence upon the American character.
