William Franklin cover

This is an unusual and fascinating biography of William Franklin, Benjamin Franklin's illegitimate son, who, with the onset of Independence, became a visible spokesman for the Loyalist cause. This biography sheds light on imperial issues and personalities in the Revolution period and explores with great understanding the complicated relationships between William Franklin and his father.

A well-researched, nicely written, and a long-needed biography of Benjamin Franklin's son William....This book should be in every collegiate library and will prove worthwhile to all readers interested in the Tory position throughout the Revolutionary period. * Choice *
