Requests:  0 Summary:  Goodwin gives a colorful account of Franklin's British years. Few people realize that Franklin lived more than one-fifth of his life in London, first as a young man and then as a colonial representative during the Seven Years' War. The result is an enthralling study of an American patriot who was a fiercely loyal British citizen for most of his life-- until he became a reluctant revolutionary at the age of sixty-nine.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.3092 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList
