Product Description:

A masterful account of this most amazing American. "A biography of Franklin written with a sweep and verve worthy of its subject and brilliantly illustrated." The New Yorker. This superb biography of the printer, statesman, author, reformer, inventor and ambassador reveals a Benjamin Franklin who in his time lived more lives than many men together. The brilliance and inexhaustible ingenuity of mind that fascinated his contemporaries continues to charm us now in Daugherty's work of perhaps America's most distinguished citizen and most interesting human being. Here is an understanding of the Poor Richard that underlay all Franklin's life, through honors and distinctions, foreign and domestic, saying with shrewd Yankee economy: "Well done is better than well said." As with all of Daugherty's books, his illustrations of two- and three-color compliment the meaty text for the enjoyment of all. (description by Beautiful Feet)

I'm addicted to history and this looks like another promising book from Daugherty. We're studying American History this year and I just can't buy enough literature.

Good book, though some funny bits in the writing
Granted they couldn't include anything, but sometimes if gives some info in passing as though it's referring back to something already told- but it's not. It gives quite a bit in this passing fashion (like his electrical experiments). And sometimes I found a bits a bit overly confusing. We read old books, so this isn't coming from someone that's used to easy modern reading. It was fine, in the end, but if I had handed it over to be ready independently I'm sure some facts would have been missed. But then, that's okay too :)
