Edition:  1st ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  At the time of his famous kite experiment, Benjamin Franklin was unaware that his theories about electricity had already made him a celebrity all over Europe, especially in France, where fashionable circles loved to discuss scientific discovery. Admired by the French court and beloved by French citizens, Franklin effectively became America's first foreign diplomat, later helping to enlist France's military and financial support for the American Revolution. A father of the revolution and a signer of the Constitution, Franklin was a lightning rod in political circles - "a dangerous Engine," according to a critic. And although he devoted the last twenty-five years of his life to affairs of state, his first love was always science. Handsome pen-and-ink drawings highlight moments in this revolutionary thinker's life.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 973.3092 Franklin Da   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library YA -- Biography Franklin Da Biography Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library YA -- Biography B Franklin Da   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library YA -- Biography B Franklin Da   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
