“Franklin's life, a parable of New World possibilities, abounded in novelties... The bare facts of his career needed no embellishment to become the success saga of a self made man... a versatile high priest of the European Enlightenment... Franklin's legendary frontier charm enchanted the most elegant drawing rooms and the most desirable bedrooms. The rumors of his liaisons were countless... His last public act was a petition to Congress for the abolition of slavery.”

Daniel J. Boorstin 1914 – 2004 CE
American intellectual Paul Revere
from Creators—Heroes of the Imagniation, 1992
