The Legacy of Benjamin Franklin

Chandler, balladeer, poet, printer, writer, humorist, satirist, swimmer, businessman, inventor, philosopher, soldier, administrator, scientist, politician, lady?s man, musician, humanitarian, philanthropist?it?s almost easier to list the things Franklin was not than try to explain the pursuits and interests of his many-faceted life.

In this course we will study in some detail the life of Benjamin Franklin and his influence on both American and world history. From his early days as a printer?s apprentice to very nearly his last days, Benjamin Franklin?s thirst for knowledge and his desire to share what he knew brought him into the forefront of a changing world. His contributions through inventions, scientific investigation, and political thought still echo over two-hundred years after his passing.

A man of his time and of his place, Benjamin Franklin sought not only to enlighten himself, but also to help shed a new light of reason and self-government to all who would pay heed.
