A Slave to Print
Franklin was born in Boston on January 17, 1706, the ninth of 11 children. He was pulled from school at an early age by his father and made an apprentice to his brother James, a printer (and, according to Franklin, a tyrant). This was really more of an indentured servant position, so when he ran away at 17, he became a fugitive.
