The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin

3.0

The first part of the autobiography was quite interesting depicting the early years of Franklin's life. It was written when he was in his 60's. However, the second part (written when he was in his 80s) is very different seemingly lacking in introspection while emphasizing logistics (where, when, names, titles etc) in a sligthly overbearing manner. Still a good portrait and perspective of the colonial days. There is a horrendous passage that conveys Franklin's view of the Native Americans and the habit of rum drinking. The autobiography was well worth reading.
