Summary

The McGuffey Readers were a textbook series used in schools throughout the United States during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Readers emphasized the fundamental skills of reading and writing but included stories on a wide range of subject matter. The books were also intended to develop proper character in children, and had an overtone of religion.
