| 520 | _a"From Boyhood to Manhood: Life of Benjamin Franklin" by William Makepeace Thayer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the formative years of Benjamin Franklin, portraying his upbringing, the influence of his parents, and the various challenges that shaped his character and future contributions to American society. It aims to inspire readers, particularly the youth, by showcasing Franklin's journey from humble beginnings to becoming an iconic figure in history. The beginning of the narrative introduces us to the Franklin family, notably focusing on Josiah Franklin, Benjamin's father, who debates the possibility of emigrating from England to New England to escape persecution. It elaborates on the family's decision to move, emphasizing their hope for a better life and opportunities. The opening sections also highlight the birth of Benjamin Franklin, dubbed "the fifteenth gift" of his family, and set the stage for his early life experiences that would ultimately mold him into the influential man he became. We see glimpses of Franklin's early lessons in value, as evidenced by a childhood incident involving a whistle, which foreshadows his lifelong inclination toward learning from experiences, even mistakes.
