William Dean Howells declared that "Franklin's is one of the greatest autobiographies in literature, and towers over other autobiographies as Franklin towered over other men." .No library descriptions found. |

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. ( )
