Biographies

---

If you've come to this page looking for biographies of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, or other luminaries of Colonial America, let us suggest that you point your browser to Wikipedia and you'll most likely find whatever you're looking for there.

Our point is that there have been literally volumes of material written about these stellar men -- a recent bio of Franklin weighed in at over 700 pages -- and we at Colonial Sense are more interested in sharing with you other lesser known -- yet nonetheless important -- figures of those times.

Here you'll find articles on the artists, innkeepers and settlers who were as important -- perhaps more so -- in their communities as were the national heroes. We hope you enjoy learning about them as much as we had researching them.
