Largely copied directly from Franklin's autobiography

(3 Sterne)

90% is copied verbatim from Franklin's auto-biography, with some ommissions regarding the corporal temptations. It is then sprinkled with a few new Anecdotes such as his visit to his mother in Boston after being away for decades, and probably the best part were found in the appendicies with letters and essays from Franklin.

it's fine but very hard to hear
