Benjamin Franklin

John Torrey Morse's classic biography of Benjamin Franklin, originally published in 1889 in the American Statesmen Series, is now presented as a high-quality new paperback. Quid Pro's Digitally Remastered? edition removes underlines, missing parts of words, and distracting stray marks ? and is presented with enhanced, clearer text. Most republications of this important and entertaining book omit pages, including even page 1 (as is obvious from a preview), and are pocked with stray handwriting. They are simply photocopies of a very used library copy, unlike the new Quid Pro version. [Although this description may appear under other publishers' books, only those with the publisher name Quid Pro, LLC (in the publisher information below) actually offer these enhanced features.]

Benjamin Franklin (1706?1790) was America's original Renaissance Man. Most known as one of the country's Founding Fathers, the first Postmaster General, and a statesman, he was also an accomplished writer, printer, scientist, inventor, and musician. He was quite simply "The First American."

Part of the new History and Heroes Series, this much-loved book is finally available new in a legible, complete, and pleasant format.
