Benjamin Franklin's life never lacked excitement and intrigue. He was the only man to sign all five of the documents upon which the U.S. was built. As a printer, writer, scientist, inventor, and American statesman, this spirited Philadelphia resident continually sought to improve himself and the world he lived in. (1706-1790)
