Summary "Benjamin Franklin" by John T. Morse, Jr. is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and achievements of Benjamin Franklin, one of America's most prominent founding figures, focusing on his contributions to the American Revolution and the development of the United States. The topic encompasses Franklin's early life, his rise from a modest upbringing to becoming a leading statesman and inventor, and his multifaceted role in shaping American society and politics. The opening of the book sets the stage for Franklin's life story by reflecting on the challenge of narrating his early years, which are famously detailed in his autobiography. Morse describes Franklin’s origins as the son of a tallow-chandler in Boston, his early education, and the beginning of his apprenticeship as a printer at the young age of thirteen. The narrative highlights Franklin's intellectual curiosity and ambition, leading him to leave Boston for Philadelphia in search of better opportunities. As he embarks on this journey, readers are introduced to his formative experiences, setting the tone for his later ventures that would significantly impact American culture and politics.
