In this time he saw the American colonies grow from tinysettlements into a nation, and he also contributed much to the development of the new state.At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. he had already received sometraining as a printer's apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his firstpublication, the Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government printingwork, which helped him to rise from his poor background to become a successfulentrepreneur. Some of his experience in business was hired in his famous Poor Richard'sAlmanac, which established his reputation throughout the American colonies.
