Episode 7 - Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography

from J. A. Bowman's Personal Podcasts Hosted by J.A. Bowman

In this episode, we will examine some of the essential keys needed to understand Franklin's Autobiography. These keys can give you inroads to understand his personality and his work, though keep in mind that the size and scope of his writing means that others are available as well. My intent is to provide some historical information about Franklin and to demonstrate that he was a flawed human being who nonetheless was able to rise to prominence based on his intelligence and industry.
