Please state the model number of the rifle/gun so it can be identified. During the 30's and 60's Benjamin guns were labeled Benjamin Franklin as a marketing ploy. All of them are really Benjamin's. They were developed by Walter Benjamin not Benjamin Franklin

I don't have an answer for this one, but I have a source you can check: Streetwise Chicago: A History of Chicago Street Names by Don Hayner. I believe it is out of print, but it should be available in libraries.

Wells Street was most likely named in honor of Captain William Wells, the hero of the Fort Dearborn Massacre. Wells was raised by Indians and later became the lead scout for General "Mad" Anthony Wayne. After retiring from the army and settleing at Fort Wayne, he led a party of 30 Miami Indians to escort the regiment posted at Ft. Dearborn and nearby settlers to safety. Wells survived the Indian assault but was killed later trying to rescue Indian prisoners, including his neice Rebekah, who was then married to the fort's commander.

Benjamin Franklin was opposed to the introduction of slaves into America because he thought it would cause people to become lazy.

He also wished for the people who had come from Europe to the Americas to remain a clean, clear strain of people, with no inter-breeding with other cultures or people of different skin color from themselves. He did not wish to fill up his country with "the sons of Africa".

He was an inventor, writer, signed the Declaration and the constitution. Grew up in Boston and left there at 17 and lived in Philadelphia and London. Sponsored a privateer to take British ships durning the revolution. The ship was only suppose to take sailors so they could be traded for Amercian sailors, but the captain was an Irish man who also took cargo. This upset Franklin and he pulled his support. His son was a British officer in the revolution and Franklin jailed him. Franklin was also with Adams and Jefferson in France to get funds for the revolution. There, he became very popular and was very famous in the French court. He wore a trademark coonskin cap and items were sold with his picture of him in his cap. Franklin liked to party, he liked to flirt , and was a real charcter.
