Summary:
Noah Webster would help standardize the English language. He celebrated and welcomed new words contributed by all groups, but Webster did more than take the 'u' out of 'colour' and switch the 're' in 'theatre.' He championed universal education and the abolition of slavery, as well as promoting studies in American history, literature, and science. Discover how Noah Webster's works and influences live on to this very day.-- adapted from summary inside cover.
