Benjamin Franklin

This link is to an article on the funeral of Benjamin Franklin who died 223 years and 26 days from today on April 17, 1790.

Seems his old nemesis John Adams was a bit appalled by all the hoopla granted in Franklin's honor. France was even vying with the fledging nation on who could honor Franklin more. President Washington was scared that too much of a celebration of the man would muscle into the area where men were put on the same pedestal as Members of the Royal Family.

One of the areas that Franklin's work would have a slow start at really taking hold in the U.S. was that of canals. http://xroads.virginia.edu/~Hyper/DE...ort/canal.html
