Thayer follows Franklin from the family’s removal from Old England to New, through the famous whistle he paid too much for, his brief schooling and his apprenticeship to his brother, a master he finally refused to serve. The young printer’s flight, rise and later achievements are told with plenty of dialogue and a steady eye on lessons of industry and perseverance.
