Summary: "True to His Home: A Tale of the Boyhood of Franklin" by Hezekiah Butterworth is a historical fiction written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on the early life of Benjamin Franklin, illustrating the formative experiences and characters that influenced his development into a prominent figure in American history. Through the lens of Franklin's childhood, the story explores themes of family, love, and the quest for knowledge. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Benjamin Franklin's humble beginnings as he is born into a large family in Boston. His father, Josiah Franklin, is determined to christen him on the day of his birth, naming him after his own brother, a poet in England who had struggled in life. This choice is not just a tribute to family ties, but a gesture of hope that the boy might inherit some of his uncle's poetic spirit and wisdom. As the story unfolds, we witness young Benjamin's curiosity and eagerness to learn, fueled by both his family’s warmth and the presence of his Uncle Benjamin, who aspires to guide him towards a meaningful life dedicated to helping others.
