    Brian Woodard’s Review for Benjamin on The Feather Pillow I like how you found it so interesting Benjamin and you always bring up interesting perspectives.

    Franklin’s Tone In his Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America‚ Benjamin Franklin expresses his attitude toward the white settlers‚ and the ‘savage’ Native-Americans.
