Definition(s)

  • With over 122 million copies sold since 1838, the McGuffey Readers taught more Americans to read than any other textbook. Initial publication coincided with a unique period in U.S. history as the West was settled, newly arrived immigrants assimilated, and the common school movement gained momentum.
