Three Fast Facts About Benjamin Franklin

February 18, 2016 by

Upon mention of Benjamin Franklin, you probably think of that famous kite-flying incident and Franklin's ties with Philadelphia. However, there's more to the life of this renowned inventor. Here are three facts to help you learn more about Ben Franklin:

2) Despite having little formal education, Franklin was an avid reader and captivating writer. He penned newspaper articles under pseudonym, Silence Dogood, and eventually established his own print shop in Philadelphia, which also housed a general store operated by his wife, Deborah. In 1729, Franklin took ownership of Pennsylvania Gazette, a popular newspaper for which he also provided content.

3) Franklin possessed a lifelong interest in science. His inventions include the library chair, bifocals, Franklin Stove, lightning rod, swim fins, and many more.
