Summary "The True Benjamin Franklin" by Sydney George Fisher is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work seeks to present a realistic portrayal of Benjamin Franklin, highlighting his true character while dismantling the myths surrounding his life. The book dives into Franklin's personal experiences, achievements, and opinions, aiming to shed light on the essence of this prominent figure in American history. At the start of the text, Fisher outlines his purpose and methodology, emphasizing the need to portray Franklin as a genuine individual rather than an idealized figure. The preface discusses the tendency of historical narratives to distort truths, particularly in the case of prominent figures like Franklin and George Washington. Fisher introduces the theme of Franklin's realistic approach to issues such as love, marriage, and social conduct, intending to provide readers with a thorough and honest account that reflects not only his accomplishments as a statesman and scientist but also his ordinary, human qualities. The opening portion establishes a foundation for the exploration of Franklin's character that will unfold throughout the book. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
