William Holmes McGuffey was born this date, 9/23/1800, in western PA. Later his family moved to the Ohio frontier where he was raised. He became a professor of languages at Miami University in Ohio. McGuffey was a minister and an advocate of public education when it was in a much purer stage.
He compiled six readers (in progressive levels which carried true moral tones.
His McGuffey Readers may have sold as many as 120 million copies.
Personal note – my dad, Clyde D. Bryan, used McGuffey’s Electic Spelling Book in Murry City, Ohio in 1912. I possess that book with Dad’s childish signature.
