Awesome life. His luck not too shabby either, having the skill, trust and industriousness to fill the need for currency of a new growing nation.

Followed Franklin's year to year movements in this book. TIME condenses the material and presents it in a way that is interesting to the reader. Would be willing to read other TIME books because you learn a lot about historical figures. Franklin is credited with inventing swim flippers - how about that. It also doesn't sugar coat his life. He was not a good family man to his son and his wife.
