Needless to say, Benjamin Franklin was a multitalented man. I found out some things I didn't know about him. This book was mostly about the conflict with England, the formulation of our government, and the peace process after the Revolutionary War. Some parts of this were tedious to get through. However, there was more about what he thought of things, how he got things done, and the other people who he knew and worked with. It was a different than a straight forward history book. I still did like this book, something a bit different than what I have been reading.
