Benjamin Franklin’s desperate mission in 1776 took him through the North Country
by Brian Mann on July 4th, 2012
While traveling last week, I was reading about the battle at Saratoga, one of the fabled turning points in our War of Independence.
In the early going of the account, I stumbled across the tale of Benjamin Franklin’s diplomatic mission from New York City to Montreal in the early spring of 1776.
Franklin, who at age 70 was already an elderly gentleman and no longer in the best of health, traveled up the Hudson River, venturing by degrees into what we now know as the North Country.
“We had a heavy snow here yesterday and the waters are so out, as to make traveling difficult by land,” Franklin wrote from Saratoga on April 13th.
“There is a strong fresh in the river against the boats, but we shall endeavor to get on as well as we can.”
It must have struck his eye as a howling wilderness indeed, mountainous, war-wracked, and choked with mud and ice.
Just two months before he was tasked with helping to write the Declaration of Independence, Franklin traveled by bateau across the waters of Lake George.
With a small delegation from the Continental Congress, Franklin then camped rough along the primitive shore of Lake Champlain.

Jim Bullard still sees a 25pbs rate cut next month. Not because the labor market side of the dual mandate is weak, and needs another rate cut to shore it up. Instead he says this is about the Fed funds rate still being at a level that is too high as inflation has come down, and needs to be cut in order prevent policy from being too tight.
We sat down to look at the Fed’s past, current and policy path at the Hoover Institution where the Shadow Open Market Committee gathered to commemorate its 50th Anniversary. No doubt an extra special event for Jim after he he joined the SOMC earlier this year and looks forward to pursuing his passion for research there.
Hear why Jim says the Fed’s 50bps rate cut created a communications challenge for Chair Jay Powell. What he thinks will drive the Fed’s coming frame work review.
And why he thinks coming rate cuts are not about an economy that is too weak, but about preventing this from happening and to move policy back toward normalcy.
