Reproduction of the original: The Life of Benjamin Franklin by M.L. Weems

Reprint of the original, first published in 1875.

Composed from Franklin's autobiography and correspondence, this three-volume 1874 publication recounts the famous American statesman's eventful and inspiring life.

Ben Franklin greatly influenced all Americans with his work as a diplomat, scientist, and inventor. He signed both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. In this book, interesting biographical information translated into Latin-American Spanish will introduce English language learners to one of the most famous Founding Fathers. Fascinating images of Franklin's life and a helpful timeline of key events will connect young historians to his life and work.

Reveals the famed inventor as a literary adept whose approach to autobiographical narrative was as innovative and radical as the inventions and political thought for which he is renowned. Veers from the familiar practices of traditional biographies, viewing history through the lens of the literary imagination rather than the other way around.
