Benjamin Franklin: American Founder, Atlantic Citizen (Routledge Historical Americans)

Nathan Kozuskanich's Benjamin Franklin: American Founder, Atlantic Citizen gives us a well-constructed and comprehensive exploration of the life of one of the greatest figures of the American age of revolution. Presenting an account of his life as a printer, scientist, and statesman against the backdrop of the wider Atlantic world, this book draws on the latest thinking of a generation of historians in a style that undergraduates will enjoy. -John Brooke, author of Columbia Rising: Civil Life on the Upper Hudson from the Revolution to the Age of Jackson "Kozuskanich's elegant little biography of Benjamin Franklin is both engaging and accessible. Perfect for classroom use, it offers significant insights into the times and the man. Most importantly, it explains how an ordinary man, born and raised in ordinary circumstances, became such a extraordinary political and intellectual force in his own time and in our own." -Sheila Skemp, author of Benjamin and William Franklin: Father and Son, Patriot and Loyalist.
