How is it possible for a very young man, 16 years of age, to strike it on his own with nothing but 4 rolls of bread, 2 shillings (25 cents), and the clothes on his back and end up the successful owner of a chain of printing houses, a diplomat to kings, and contributor in the writing of the American Declaration of Independence?

Good fathering was what provided the foundation for Benjamin Franklin to achieve all these things and much more.
