Yale University Press, 288 pp., $25 The noted Franklin scholar gets personal: In 18 essays, Lopez relates little-known episodes and facts of Franklin's life (who's the only founding father to be inducted into a sports hall of fame?). Using the vast Franklin archives at Yale (some 30,000 documents), Lopez has fashioned an alternately humorous and poignant book that is revealing to Franklin devotees and accessible to those merely interested in him.My Life With Benjamin FranklinClaude-Anne Lopez
