Book excerpt: PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • Benjamin Franklin, perhaps the pivotal figure in colonial and revolutionary America, comes vividly to life in this “thorough biography of ... America’s first Renaissance man” (The Washington Post) by the two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, bestselling historian, and author of Our First Civil War. "The authoritative Franklin biography for our time.” —Joseph J. Ellis, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Founding Brothers Wit, diplomat, scientist, philosopher, businessman, inventor, and bon vivant, Benjamin Franklin's "life is one every American should know well, and it has not been told better than by Mr. Brands" (The Dallas Morning News). From penniless runaway to highly successful printer, from ardently loyal subject of Britain to architect of an alliance with France that ensured America’s independence, Franklin went from obscurity to become one of the world’s most admired figures, whose circle included the likes of Voltaire, Hume, Burke, and Kant. Drawing on previously unpublished letters and a host of other sources, acclaimed historian H. W. Brands has written a thoroughly engaging biography of the eighteenth-century genius. A much needed reminder of Franklin’s greatness and humanity, The First American is a work of meticulous scholarship that provides a magnificent tour of a legendary historical figure, a vital era in American life, and the countless arenas in which the protean Franklin left his legacy. Look for H.W. Brands's other biographies: ANDREW JACKSON, THE MAN WHO SAVED THE UNION (Ulysses S. Grant), TRAITOR TO HIS CLASS (Franklin Roosevelt) and REAGAN.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life of Benjamin Franklin Vol. 2 is an account of the life and times of Benjamin Franklin written by none other than Franklin himself. Considered to be one of the founding fathers of America, Franklin was also a leading author, a politician, a political theorist, a printer, an inventor, a scientist, a statesman, and a diplomat. Perhaps one of the most famous Americans, known around the world, Franklin's life story in his own words makes for an interesting read for any individual intrigued by this man or the humble beginnings of America. The second volume in his two volume set begins half-way through Franklin's life, at the point when the Wilkes Riots were occurring (1768) and Franklin was named President of the American Philosophical society. The rest of the volume continues through pivotal events to the end of Franklin's exciting and informative life. The events discussed are both those that Franklin experiences personally (such as his sixty-seventh birthday) and world events upon which Franklin feels qualified to offer his educated opinion. Each of the topics explored give the reader a glimpse into both Franklin's life and also the world stage that would lead to the American Revolution and the birth of a nation. The book, The Life of Benjamin Franklin Vol. 2 is a wonderful read for anyone interested in Benjamin Franklin and his life through his own words. This text is also an amazing resource for individuals interested in early American politics and history along with world history and events that surround the American Revolution. This book is an engaging read and an interesting exploration of life prior to the American Revolution and the politics that went into creating an independent nation that would rival other countries as a world power during its long history.

Book excerpt: People have never stopped loving the most human and witty of the Founding Fathers. Publisher, inventor, journalist, diplomat, patriot—Benjamin Franklin was all these and more. He left his mark everywhere on the young nation and established a legacy that remains with us today in everything from our most important institutions to our sense of humor. In words and pictures, TIME Benjamin Franklin will trace his full life and tumultuous times, from his beginnings as a printer's apprentice in Philadelphia to his turns as a best-selling author, a world renowned scientist, a leading fi gure of the American Revolution, a lively (but prudent) ladies' man, a shrewd ambassador to France, and in his final triumph, a framer of the Constitution. Franklin's energy, his boundless curiosity, his questing mind all made him a favorite figure from the American past who feels in many ways contemporary. Written by Richard Lacayo, TIME Arts & Culture editor, this is the second volume in the TIME Book series documenting the lives of great American historical figures. It is sure to captivate the reader, just as Franklin himself has captured our attention for centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin, Vol. 2 England had lost her colonies, though no one yet suspected it. Madness now seized both parties; only there was method in the madness of the colonists. It is not ours to relate the public events which accompanied and followed the scenes just described: such as the destruction of the tea in Boston harbor; the passage of Lord North's avenging measure, called the Boston Port Bill; the adoption of the cause of Boston as their own by the other colonies; six regiments of British troops posted in Boston; the calm protests of Washington, Lee, and Jefferson; the wild eloquence of Patrick Henry; the passage of the bill transferring political offenders to England for trial, with their train of witnesses and advocates; the torrents of petitions against these measures; the haughty rejection of these petitions; the tumults in America; the exasperating insolence of the king's speeches to Parliament; and, above all, the meeting of the Continental Congress at Philadelphia. All these things have been eloquently told by Mr. Bancroft, and are familiar to decently informed persons in every land. America became the universal topic, France appearing to be more interested in it than England, though there were in Parliament fifty "field-night" debates upon America during the next three or four years. How the tories raved against America! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
