Teresa_Pelka: Paths by Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine parted, in their living experience. The names continue together in history, for the role both men had in American independence.
Franklin starts his autobiography by describing that his family originally emigrated from Northamptonshire in England where they had worked the land since the 1200's. In the colonies, Franklin's father was a candler and as was traditional, the son was expected to follow the father's trade. However, Franklin was obviously a very intelligent young man and his father supported his education.
Getting into the printing trade allowed him to publish pamphlets that suggested improvements in society. He also published a newspaper which was one of the first in the Colonies.
Franklin seems to have been involved in many of the big moments in early America including Braddocks defeat by the French and natives.
Despite written in the 18th Century, it is very readable and frequently illustrates Franklin's wit. ( )
