kindle unlimited, Some of the most well-known Founding Fathers are George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and Benjamin Franklin. These men, and other Founding Fathers, played extremely important roles in securing American independence and nationhood. Benjamin Franklin, although never president, signed the Declaration of Independence, and served as an ambassador to France, in addition to serving in many other capacities and inventing various things. Captivating History has quite a few on various presidents, from founding fathers to more recent.

The Captivating History series, like Hourly History, offers brief snapshots of famous people and events in time in an easy-to-read volume that can be digested in about an hour or two. (That is, if you're not constantly interrupted, like I am.) The series doesn't really offer anything new or scholarly, but is is a great way to do a quick refresher on the subject or to get acquainted with it for the first time.
So.... Ben. A Founding Father, the US's first Postmaster General, a leading figure of the Enlightenment in the colonies, present at both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitutional Convention, an inventor and a polymath, a ladies' man with an illegitimate child.
Ben. He certainly knew how to get around. This was very enjoyable for a quickie. (Somehow, I think Ben would approve....)

Loved how short and concise it was. Covered B. Franks story, important personality traits and some general information to the right depth so I didn't get bored.

Benjamin Franklin. One of our founding fathers and greats in our history books. I didn't know I would find so many similarities in my life with his, even separated by 200 years of time. Every time I look at a $100 bill I will think it really is all about the Benjamin.
