Franklin’s interests were diverse and wide-ranging. Countless volumes have been written about him. The challenge for the One Book program was to choose works that would adequately capture the true essence of the man and his times. Because of the complexity of this year’s subject, and in order to promote the widest participation possible, One Book, One Philadelphia has chosen to offer not one, but three books about Franklin. This year’s theme will be “Three Books for One Founding Father.” The featured books are: • The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin (various editions) • Ben and Me by Robert Lawson (1939, Little, Brown & Company) • Franklin: The Essential Founding Father by James Srodes (2002, Regnery Publishing, Inc.) The Authors BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, author of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, was born in 1706 and died in 1790 at the age of 84. He was an author, inventor, businessman, scholar, scientist, revolutionary, and statesman whose contributions to Philadelphia and the world are countless.

  • Friendship Fire Company: 117 South Market Street; Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania
    Hon 170: Elizabethtown History: Campus and Community Joseph C. Rue Professor Benowitz 5 May 2017 Friendship Fire Company: 117 South Market Street; Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania Abstract: The Friendship Fire Company building, located at 117 South Market Street in Elizabethtown, PA, was originally used as a firehouse. It was built in 1884, on land willed to Mary Breneman by Elizabeth Redsecker, who inherited it from her father George. The Friendship Fire Company building was a larger and more centralized location for The Friendship Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 of Elizabethtown, which was founded in 1836 and previously housed on Poplar Street. The building was decommissioned by the fire department in 1976, and is currently a gallery and frame shop. The original Victorian brick facade was covered over with the current stucco in the 1920s. There was a wood-frame structure on the property in the 1840s when it was sold to Jacob Gish, which before that was operated as a hotel. Property Details: The Friendship Fire Company building is located at 117 South Market Street in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania 17022 Lancaster County.1 The current structure, which was constructed in 1884 by Benjamin G. Groff,2 is situated on a 33 by 196 foot lot (approximately 6,534 square feet).3 There was previously a structure which was operated as a hotel on this lot.4 Deed Search: The current community of Elizabethtown is situated between the Conoy Creek and the Conwego Creek along the Susquehanna River.

  • Benjamin Franklin
    Benjamin Franklin Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He is famous for many reasons. He was a politician, a scientist, an inventor, an author, and a statesman. He was the youngest son in a family with 17 children. Benjamin Franklin started out as an apprentice in his brother's print shop in Boston, and he created The New-England Courant, which was the first truly independent newspaper in the colonies. He wanted to write for the paper, but was not permitted to do so. Benjamin Franklin used a pseudonym to write for the paper. A pseudonym is a fictitious name used in place of a person's real name. He used the pseudonym of “Mrs. Silence Dogood,” who was supposedly a middle-aged widow. His letters were published in the paper and became a topic of discussion around town. His brother did not know that Benjamin was actually writing the letters and was upset when he learned the truth. When he was only 17, Benjamin Franklin wound up running away to Philadelphia to seek a new start in life. In 1733, Benjamin Franklin began publishing Poor Richard's Almanac. He wrote some of the material himself and also used material from other sources. He used the pseudonym Richard Saunders to publish this work, and he sold about 10,000 copies per year. As an inventor, Ben Franklin accomplished many things. He invented the lightning rod, the glass harmonica, the Franklin stove, and bifocals. In 1743, he founded the American Philosophical Society, which was designed to help men discuss their theories and discoveries.

  • Philadelphia's First Fire Defences 355
    Philadelphia's First Fire Defences 355 PHILADELPHIA'S FIEST FIKE DEFENCES By HARROLD E. GILLINGHAM History fails to reveal who first produced fire, mean- ing thereby the friendly fire for warmth and cooking; and it is equally uncertain who first thought of fire prevention, when the friendly fire became antagonistic. In the year 59 A. D., Lyons, in France, was destroyed by fire and Nero offered to have the city rebuilt, yet in 64 A. D., Rome itself suffered from a fire which burnt for eight days and two-thirds of the city was destroyed; during which time Nero is reputed to have fiddled instead of attempting to save the city. London experienced five great fires. In 798, most of the city was destroyed; in 982, it again was almost completely consumed. The years 1086 and 1212 are to be remembered, as then other great fires occurred. The "Great Fire of London," which started September 2, 1666, and continued four days, burnt over four hun- dred acres of buildings, entailing a property loss of more than fifty million dollars, is generally spoken of when the subject of fires and fire prevention are under discussion. During all these years the matter of fire prevention was carefully considered. In 1068, William I. (The Conqueror), introduced the curfew, when all fires and lights had to be extinguished as a means of safety. In 1189, Richard I. (Cour de Leon), had ladders kept near all the great houses of London, that the owners thereof could "succour their neighbors in case mis- adventure should occur from fire";1 and between the feast of Pentecost and the feast of St.

  • Benjamin Franklin's Many “Hats”
    Benjamin Franklin's Many “Hats” Biography of Benjamin Franklin Student Name ____________________________________________________Date___________________ Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston on January 17, 1706. He was the tenth son of soap maker, Josiah Franklin. Benjamin's mother was Abiah Folger, the second wife of Josiah. In all, Josiah would father 17 children. Josiah intended for Benjamin to enter into the clergy. However, Josiah could only afford to send his son to school for one year and clergymen needed years of schooling. But, as young Benjamin loved to read he had him apprenticed to his brother James, who was a printer. After helping James compose pamphlets and set type which was grueling work, 12-year-old Benjamin would sell their products in the streets. Apprentice Printer When Benjamin was 15 his brother started The New England Courant the first "newspaper" in Boston. Though there were two papers in the city before James's Courant, they only reprinted news from abroad. James's paper carried articles, opinion pieces written by James's friends, advertisements, and news of ship schedules. Franklin as printer Benjamin wanted to write for the paper too, but he knew that James would never let him. After all, Benjamin was just a lowly apprentice. So Ben began writing letters at night and signing them with the name of a fictional widow, Silence Dogood. Dogood was filled with advice and very critical of the world around her, particularly concerning the issue of how women were treated. Ben would sneak the letters under the print shop door at night so no one knew who was writing the pieces.

  • Fire Service History (Pdf)
    Fire Service History Protection of lives and property from fire can be documented back to the Roman Empire in 6AD. They established Bucket Brigades to fight fires and assist home- owners. Since that time all major civilizations have had some sort of Fire Brigade and most of these were volunteer obligations by a community or area. Benjamin Franklin helped shape the country and the fire service. In 1736, Franklin founded the Union Fire Company in Philadelphia, which became the standard for volunteer fire company organization. A fire fighter himself, he was also a writer, printer, philosopher, scientist and statesman of the American Revolution In the 18th century, American cities and towns lacked the types of institutions that fought fires. In response, Americans developed their own tradition of fighting fires as a grassroots collective. The first response of those communities was what would later be called a “bucket brigade.” Neighbors from all around the fire would run to help or at least toss their buckets into the street for volunteers to fill with water and pass forward to be dumped on the fire. Throwing water on a fire one bucket at a time wasn't a very effective way of saving one particular house, but it could buy the occupants enough time to salvage some belongings and prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings and potentially destroying an entire neighborhood. In the period around 1800, some early fire engines with manually operated pumps were horse- drawn, but large groups of strong men moved them around. Hose companies were formed when municipal water sources were built with primitive hydrants.
