This autobiography is about Benjamin Franklin's amazing life: He became printer for the early colony of Pennsylvania and some of the other early colonies; published Poor Richard, a series of almanacs; served as deputy postmaster for the northern colonies; served as delegate to the Second Continental Congress (and helped write the Declaration of Independence); served as one of the delegates to discuss the promise of peace with Great Britain; and was instrumental in achieving the adoption of the U.S. Constitution. Taken from Benjamin Franklin's own manuscript.
