Description
This title illustrates how Benjamin Franklin influenced the outcome of the War for Independence from England in the little known role of amateur admiral. With an endless parade of tricks, fakeries, hoaxes and outright fabrications, lasting from 1775 to 1785, Franklin manipulated assorted vessels and motivated crews, to wage warfare on British shipping and ships of the British Navy. Also included is a famous Franklin letter to a friend : "The art of having pleasant dreams."
