The Autobiography Of Benjamin Franklin

The unfinished account of Franklins life that he wrote between 1771 and 1790 is commonly referred to as his autobiography however Franklin may have referred to it as his memoirs. Despite a difficult publishing history following Franklins passing this work has grown to be one of the most well-known and significant autobiographies ever written. Franklins biography is broken down into four sections each representing a different time period when he wrote it. The first three parts of the story have actual breaks in the narrative but Part Threes story carries over into Part Four without an authorial break.
