The loyal son : the war in Ben Franklin's house / Daniel Mark Epstein.
Ben Franklin is the most lovable of America's founding fathers. His wit, his charm, his inventiveness-even his grandfatherly appearance-are legendary. But this image obscures the scandals that dogged him throughout his life. In The Loyal Son, award-winning historian Daniel Mark Epstein throws the spotlight on one of the more enigmatic aspects of Franklin's biography: his complex and confounding relationship with his illegitimate son William.
