Non-Fiction Memoir
The most versatile Founding Father was a husband, a father,
a writer, an inventor, a statesman, a fundraiser and a
military leader. But in his mind, he was first and foremost
a businessman. Franklin’s captivating adventures include
his almost single-handed responsibility for establishing
the first media empire, the first public library, the first
fire brigade, the University of Pennsylvania, the first
book club and the first franchise – all of which are
detailed within these pages with Franklin’s characteristic
mix of humility and pride. Franklin chronicles his own story, from his early days
growing up in colonial Boston to his retirement from
printing and growing involvement in national politics. It
was during these years that he honed his management and
leadership skills, acquired a fervent distaste for tyranny
of all types, embraced a strong set of morals, and
developed an uncompromising work ethic. From the moment he
fled his tyrannical master and set himself up as a printer
in Philadelphia, all who came into contact with Franklin
recognized his destiny. His wisdom transcends the ages – and his life lessons are
insights are as compelling today as ever.
