Benjamin Franklin
Researcher: Rachel Sahlman Artist: Dick Strandberg
Benjamin Franklin, born January 17, 1706, was the 10th son, and 15th child, of 17 children in the Josiah Franklin family. Josiah was a soap and candlemaker, who lived in Boston, Massachusetts with his second wife, Abiah Folger. Although Franklin learned to read at an early age, he only attended grammar school for two years. By the time he was 10 years old, Franklin was working for his father. However, he did not enjoy the candlemaking profession, and two years later, Franklin was apprenticed to his brother James, a printer.
For five years, Franklin sought to master the printers' trade. During this time, he also strove to improve his education. Franklin read numerous classics and perfected his writing style. One night, Franklin slipped a letter, signed "Silence Dogood," under the door of his brother's newspaper, the New England Courant. That letter and the next 13 written by Franklin were published anonymously. The essays were widely read and acclaimed for their satire.
After a quarrel with his brother in 1723, Franklin left Boston for Philadelphia, where he again worked in the printing industry. He established a friendship with the Pennsylvania governor, Sir William Keith, and at Keith's suggestion, Franklin decided to go into business for himself. Keith offered to arrange letters of credit and introduction for Franklin's trip to London to purchase equipment. Unfortunately, Keith proved unreliable, and Franklin arrived in London with no means. However, he quickly found employment in two of London's largest printing houses, and after two years, earned enough money to return to America.

Benjamin Franklin
was born on January 17, 1706 in Boston Massachusetts. Franklin was one of the leading founding fathers of the United States of America. He signed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, and served as the new nation's ablest diplomat. Franklin's formal schooling ended early but his education never did. He believed that "the doors to wisdom are never shut," and read every book he could get his hands on. Franklin taught himself simple algebra and geometry, navigation, logic, history, science, English grammar and a working knowledge of five other languages. Franklin had a simple formula for success. He believed that successful people worked just a little harder than other people. Benjamin Franklin certainly did. He built a successful printing and publishing business in Philadelphia; he conducted scientific studies of electricity and made several important discoveries; he was an accomplished diplomat and statesman; he helped establish Pennsylvania's first university and America's first city hospital. He also organized the country's first subscription library. Franklin was also unequaled in America as an inventor until Thomas Edison . He invented the Franklin stove, bifocal eyeglasses and the lightning rod. Franklin wasn't greedy about his inventions, preferring to have them used freely for the comfort and convenience of everyone. Thomas Jefferson called Benjamin Franklin "the greatest man and ornament of the age and country in which he lived."

http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Library/Giants/Franklin/
In 1752, Franklin, along with his son William, performed his famous kite-flying experiment which proved that lightning is a naturally-occurring electrical phenomenon. The kite was constructed with a sharp metallic wire situated on top and at the end of the kite string, and a key tied to the end of the string with a silk ribbon. When Franklin saw loose threads on the kite string stand up, he grounded the makeshift insulated conductor by touching his knuckle to the metal key on the string. Consequently, he observed a passing spark between his knuckle and the key, which presented the final proof of lightning's electrical nature. Miraculously, the charge was not strong enough to be fatal to Franklin or his son. (Under normal circumstances, a lightning strike can instantly kill any individuals bold enough to fly a kite during a thunderstorm.) next: Franklin's Climate Studies On the Shoulders of Giants

I treasure this book! Not just a book of quotations in a series of annectdotes, mouthwatering morsels, that leave you hungry for more, this is a literary feast. It presents Ben Franklin in a way that few books can. The reason? It shows you the Franklin you want when you want him. The topics prejudice, slander, or party loyalty to name some, are clear, well-organized, and often witty. But these are not the main reasons I treasure the book.

Benjamin Franklin
1706 - 1790, amerikanischer Politiker, Naturwissenschaftler und Schriftsteller
Benjamin Franklin wurde am 17. Januar 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts geboren.
Als Franklion zehn Jahre alt war mußte er die Schule verlassen, um seinen Vater, einem Krämer und Seifenmacher zu helfen. Als er jedoch kurz darauf sein Interesse an Büchern entdeckte, wechselte er seine Tätigkeit und ging bei seinem Bruder, einen Buchdrucker zur Lehre. Er beendete seine Ausbildung zum Buchdrucker in London und begann 1726, sich in Philadelphia eine eigene Buchdruckerei aufzubauen.
1743 sah Franklin eine Vorführung eines englischen Wissenschaftlers, der Experimente mit Elektrizität vorführte. Franklin war begeistert und kaufte dem Wissenschafter die gesamte Gerätschaft ab. Ab 1745 begann er mit eigenen Experimenten und gab auch sehr bald seine Buchdruckerei an einen Partner ab.
Die Elektizität wurde damals als wissenschaftlich nicht sehr bedeutend angesehen. Anstelle von ernsthafter Forschung stand zumeist das Bestreben, sich neue spannende Taschenspielertricks einfallen zu lassen. Auch Franklin arbeitete an zunächst solchen Taschenspielertricks. Doch im Gegensatz zu vielen seiner Kollegen versuchte er auch die physikalischen Prinzipien seiner Erfindungen zu verstehen.

http://www.tombtown.com/bios/franklin.htm
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706, in Boston. He was Josiah and Abiah's 8th child, of 10. Thanks to his father, Ben not only had 9 brothers and sisters from this marriage, but also seven step- brothers and sisters from a previous marriage. At age 12, Ben became an apprentice in his brother James' printing office. He loved to write, but being a boy, no one was interested in what he had to say. So, he bagan writing under the pen name Silence Dogood and would slip his stories under the door of James' print shop. The stories were published and were very popular with the readers. When James found out that Silence Dogood was really Ben, however, he became angry and their relationship was never the same. When Ben was 17, he ran away to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and by the time he was 22 he had completed his training as a printer and opened up his own printing office. The following year, he began publishing the "Philadelphia Gazett." The next few years saw many firsts in Ben's life. He married Deborah Read Rogers; they had two sons, William and Francis (who died four years later), and a daughter Sarah; Ben founded the first Circulatory Library; began publishing Poor Richard: An Almanack; and was appointed Postmaster of Philadelphia.
