Much has been written about the famous Founding Father - his celebrated Autobiography, published after his death, is one of the greatest autobiographies of all time. But it was incomplete. Franklin ended his life’s story in 1757, when he was only 51. During the remaining 33 years of his life, Franklin served as America’s advocate in London, represented Pennsylvania in the Continental Congress, and was America’s wartime ambassador to France. During these pivotal years Franklin also helped write our nation’s Constitution and planned an American Empire that would displace the British Empire.

Now, in The Compleated Autobiography by Benjamin Franklin, we finally get the rest of the story—in Franklin’s own words. Drawing upon Franklin’s letters, writings, and other original texts, Mark Skousen, Franklin’s eighth-generation grandson, has compiled and edited hundreds of documents to produce the most unique autobiography in print.

The book's publisher, Regnery, has agreed to offer you a free chapter from Skousen's book. Don't pass up this opportunity.
