The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

"The Coming Battle" written in 1899, it's a masterpiece and he called it over a 100 years ago. You got it right. All books need to be old or sourced from old books for the new ones.

The new stuff coming out is complete revisionism and a complete joke, they are having great success lowering the world wide IQ and informed ness of the occupants of planet earth.
