Franklin's darker side, particularly the indifferent way he treated his family, can be pulled from biographies like "The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin" and "Benjamin Franklin: An American Life," among others.
His contemporaries weren't all crazy about him either. John Adams wrote: "His whole life has been one continued insult to good manners and to decency." Ouch! Of course, Franklin's retort would have been: "Love your enemies, for they tell you your faults."
