Benjamin Franklin

Inventor, author, scholar and diplomat, Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was a true Renaissance man. His experiments with electricity remain well-known today, while in his time he was also noted for inventing, among other things, bifocals, the lightning rod, and the Franklin stove. Called “The First American" for his tireless calls for colonial unity, he served as the colonies' Ambassador to France and was instrumental in the French entering the war on the side of the colonies. He also served as the first Postmaster General of the United States, and founded what became the University of Pennsylvania.
