Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Benjamin Franklin More than two hundred years ago there was born in Boston a baby who was destined to become the foremost man of his time. He became famous not only as a statesman but as a scientist as well, for that baby was our own Benjamin Franklin. He was born on Sunday, January 17, 1706, and was baptized in the famous old church - the Old South Church - just across the street from his birthplace. He was carried there by his father through deep snow, and was named Benjamin after his father´s brother, who was then living in England. Later the brother came to this country and became the favorite uncle of his little namesake. Benjamin´s father, Josiah, was the youngest of four brothers, and had been born and bred in England, in the little village of Ecton, about sixty miles from London.
