Description
Award-winning author Philip Dray delves into the lesser-known side of an American icon in Stealing God's Thunder . Benjamin Franklin, more often viewed as a statesman and founding father than as a man of science, challenged religion, science, and reason with his inventions. But in a time when everything was blamed on sin, it was the lightning rod, Franklin's attempt to control the heavens, that caused the greatest controversy.

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

ISBN: 1572704950
Category: Bios, Memoirs, Political Figures, History, Extraordinary Lives
Keywords: founding father, america, scientist, diplomat, statesman, humanitarian, Ben Franklin, Autobiography, Benjamin, Franklin
Author: Benjamin Franklin
Publisher: The Audio Partners Publishing Corp.
Length: 6 hours and 6 min.

Description
Ben Franklin's own lively story of his early years is a unique, fascinating, and influential look at this American founding father. It has been taught in schools as a moral tract, as a guide to self-improvement, and as the Great American Success Story. It also is relished both for its insight into colonial life and the mind of the man who most affected the development of our democratic form of government. Finally, it is savored for its language; Franklin's wit, his well-turned phrase, and his humanity shine through.
