Ben Franklin: American Patriot

Written by Geraldine Ann Snyder, Ben Franklin: American Patroit tells the life-story of Ben Franklin. As a child, Ben dreamed of being a sailor, but his father insisted he become an apprentice to his brother James, a printer in Boston. After five years of “indentured servitude,” Ben fled to the freedom of Philadelphia and the rest is history. From the publication of Poor Richard’s Almanac filled with news, weather and proverbs to his experiments with a kite, a key, and electricity, Ben Franklin was quite a character full of wit and wisdom.
