Introduction. An Account Of How The Author Left His Work With A
Pick And Shovel To Become A Poet.
Carl Van Doren received the 1938 Pulitzer Prize in Biography for
this work. It contains the most extensive collection of Benjamin
Franklin's autobiographical writings, much of which was long

The delightful correspondence between Benjamin Franklin and his
favorite sister, with an introduction and notes by Carl Van Doren.

written to any other person, and as she emerges through these
letters we understand the reasons for the esteem in which he held
her. The letters cover a period of over sixty years, give new and
intimate glimpses of Franklin and of the times, particularly in
Philadelphia and Boston, and will enchant any reader of 18th
century Americana. Originally published in 1950. The Princeton

heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
