Benjamin Franklin stands as one of the most remarkable and multifaceted figures in American history. He was a Founding Father of the United States who played a critical role in the American Revolution and the founding of the nation, but he was also much more – a printer and publisher, an accomplished author, a groundbreaking inventor and scientist, and a skilled diplomat. In the two decades leading up to the Revolution, Franklin was arguably the world’s most famous American. Franklin’s life is filled with well-known achievements – from his legendary kite experiment in a thunderstorm to his diplomatic mission in France – but it also contains lesser-known stories and anecdotes that reveal the character and humor of the man.
