Description
audible1 recording of The Silence Dogood Letters by Benjamin Franklin.
Read in English by Patti Cunningham & Darcy Smittenaar.
As a teenager, Benjamin Franklin apprenticed with his brother James at the shop where The New-England Courant was printed. Since James would not publish any of Benjamin’s works, fifteen-year-old Benjamin sent letters to The New England Courant under the pseudonym Silence Dogood. A total of fourteen letters were sent, one each fortnight, between April and December of 1722. – Summary by Darcy Smittenaar
