Discover the charisma and wisdom of one of America's most influential founding fathers in this new edition of Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography.

Franklin's rise from humble beginnings to international renown embodies the spirit of opportunity that defines the nation. Considered first great American autobiography, it helped establish the genre and influenced countless works that followed.
Benjamin Franklin was more than a gifted writer; he was a driving force in the creation of a new nation. His efforts in France were crucial in securing vital aid during the American Revolution. From drafting the Declaration of Independence to negotiating the Treaty of Paris, Franklin was at the heart of America's fight for freedom. He also founded institutions that promoted education and civic engagement, including America's first public lending library. In addition, Franklin's scientific discoveries and philosophical contributions helped shape the intellectual landscape of colonial America.
Based on a 1916 seminal publication of this key work with an introduction and notes by Frank Woodworth Pine, this Warbler Classics edition includes letters from Benjamin Franklin and an extensive, informed, and entertaining biographical essay.
