Perhaps our best-known founding father, Franklin is a fascinating figure from our nation's birth. This presentation will begin by discussing Franklin's early life, as well as his work as a printer in colonial Philadelphia. We will then take a look at his considerable scientific contributions and finally his indispensable work in creating the United States of America from a collection of diverse colonies.
