Today is the birthday of Benjamin Franklin, born in Boston, Massachusetts (1706). He was a printer, a scientist, an inventor, a writer, the founder of America’s first lending library, and one of the Founding Fathers of America itself. He recalled in his Autobiography (1794) that writing well became “of great Use to me in the Course of my Life, and was a principal Means of my Advancement.”
There is a lot more information available about Franklin on line. I leave it to you to pursue.
