Description: The Diplomacy of Independence by Thomas E. Chávez Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "This book includes documents pertinent to Benjamin Franklin found in the archives of Spain. These documents speak to the relatively unknown history of Spains early relationship with and aid to the fledging American colonies during their struggle to win independence from Great Britain"-- Publisher Description Presenting more than seventy documents from Spanish archives that provide a rare glimpse into Benjamin Franklins connection to Spain.Although Benjamin Franklin never set foot in Spain, from 1774 until his death in 1790 he maintained contact and correspondence with a wide range of Spanish officials and intellectuals. As a diplomat, Franklin carried papers to Paris naming him minister to Spain, yet he remained in the French capital where he dealt with Spains ambassador to France, the formidable Count of Aranda. Beginning with Franklins exchange of gifts with the Don Felipe Bourbon, the King of Spains third son, and ending with his induction into Spains Royal Academy of History, The Diplomacy of Independence explores a facet of Franklins life previously overlooked yet documented in the archives of Spain. This book makes available more than seventy Franklin-related documents housed in various Spanish archives. The majority of documents are in Spanish or French, while a few are in original English. Some are in Franklins hand, while others relate meetings in which Franklin participated, or as in one case, the actual minutes in which Franklin was inducted into the Royal Academy. All documents are presented in their original language, as well as in an English translation. Annotations provide contextual information, each document has an introduction that relays pertinent information relative to their archival locale, so that historians and the curious will be able to locate the original with little effort. The Diplomacy of Independence not only contributes to the already extensive knowledge of Benjamin Franklin but also highlights Franklins and his colleagues efforts in assuring Spains key aid and involvement in the American Revolutionary war. Contributors: Russ Davidson, Genoveva Enríquez, Patricia Kurz, and Celia López-Chávez. Author Biography Thomas E. Chávez is a historian with a PhD from the University of New Mexico.
