About this book
Myth-making around great Americans is what Sydney George Fisher sets out to correct in this biography of Benjamin Franklin. He states in his preface that he has in mind a companion to Paul Leicester Ford's "The True George Washington", and he dislikes biographers who tidy their subjects into wooden heroes.
Fisher deals openly with Franklin's own plain writing about love and marriage, and this fifth edition from Lippincott includes the appendix, added in the third edition, on whether Mrs. Foxcroft was really Franklin's daughter. The title page also lists his earlier books on colonial manners, Pennsylvania and the Constitution.
