Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin Benjamin Franklin 1706-1790 On January 17, 1706, Benjamin Franklin was born in a small house his parents had leased on Milk Street in Boston Massachusetts. He had sixteen siblings, that left the house as he grew older, but he could recollect sitting at a dinner table with at least a dozen of them, as an earliest memory.1 The period of education and apprenticeship had begun. At the early age of ten, before which he was attending school, Benjamin began working with his father in the family business, as a soap and candle maker. But that wasn’t an attractive career for the young Benjamin. The main source of the raw resource for the business were from the carcasses of animals. He tried his way into a cutlery apprenticeship. Unfortunately that didn’t go through, and he went on to be an apprentice to his half brother James, as a printer.2 James Franklin, nine years older than Ben, set up a shop only three blocks away from Ben’s father, Josiah’s house.3 Benjamin helped print the New England Courant, and published James’ newspaper. At the age of 17, Benjamin left Boston and went to Philadelphia, were he found employment at a local print shop there. In 1724, Benjamin was sent to England to buy printing equipment, and after franklin, benjamin, france, years, britain, french, england, treaty, time, sent, plan, pennsylvania, first, colonies, america, almanac, adams, yet, signed, received, published, new, made, letters, involved, congress, because, became, albany, after, very, postmaster, post, philadelphia, own
