Benjamin Franklin: America’s Gift to the World

Benjamin Franklin was arguably one of the world’s geniuses. From an early age, this uncommon commoner knew he was made for greater things. He left his home in Boston and traveled to Philadelphia where he grew into a scientist, inventor, statesman, musician, world traveler, and rock star.

Yep, rock star. Like today’s rock stars, people the world over knew Franklin’s face, his words, and his works. Celebrated everywhere for his contributions to a number of disciplines, Franklin still captures our imaginations and our psyches.

Benjamin Franklin: America’s Gift to the World, will introduce you to a new Franklin that you’ve never met before. Dan Kalenak has done a superb job of making the introductions and then leaving Franklin and reader to get better acquainted.
