The Last Will and Testament of Benjamin Franklin

The death of Benjamin Franklin -- whose 300th birthday was celebrated in January of 2006 -- marked the end of an era for the early American Republic. Benjamin Franklin, one of the most popular of America's great Founding Fathers, was an author, humanist, humorist, philosopher, scientist and all-around Renaissance Man, epitomizing all that was good about America when it was healthy and free. He would probably be labelled as a "domestic terrorist" were he alive today.
