According to the Henry Ford Archive: McGuffey Readers had a deep and lasting influence on Henry Ford. They were among the earliest objects reflecting the American experience that Henry Ford collected, beginning in the 1910s. Ford bought every copy that he could find amassing, by the 1930s, a collection of 468 copies of 145 different editions. A strong believer in McGuffey s educational principles, Ford perpetuated these beliefs by founding the Edison Institute Schools.
