Benjamin Franklin was one of the most dynamic figures in early American history, publishing ""Poor Richard's Almanac"" as well as several other works. When not writing or editing, Franklin conducted scientific experiments, established many local and national institutions, and led diplomatic missions. This new volume in the ""Bloom's Classic Critical Views"" series features compelling essays from the 19th and 20th centuries that give students historical insights into one of our country's Founding Fathers.
