Review

"McGuffey, more than anyone, created a revolution by advocating access to basic education for everyone and writing a book that promoted common values. His Readers gave hope to new immigrants struggling in an industrializing world and profoundly influenced business leaders like Henry Ford, George Westinghouse and H.J. Heinz." Quentin Skrabec, author of William McGuffey: Mentor to American Industry, quoted in International Business Daily.
