The autobiography of benjamin franklin book review

Benjamin Franklin’s life story is touted as the quintessential American story; a man from nothing progressed through society to become one of its richest and most famous.

I believe Ben Franklin is also credited with starting the self-help book genre books. His autobiography is claimed to be the first autobiography of modern autobiographies. His Poor Richard’s Almanacwas considered to be highly influential.
