The American journalist Franklin Ford (1849–1918) is remembered for his 
ambitious (and stillborn) Thought News periodical, hatched with 
philosopher John Dewey. The Franklin Ford Collection, curated and 
introduced by Trudel and De Maeyer, takes in the full shambolic spread 
of Ford's thought, across news, politics, education, finance, and 
society at large. The collection includes nineteen documents—letters, 
leaflets, editorials, and treatises—with critical annotations from 
Trudel and De Maeyer. The works, many unpublished or rarely circulated, 
illustrate the core themes that animated Ford's career, including his 
sweeping program of press reform and his thoughts on the interconnected 
flows of money, transportation, and communication.

The book is available online and as a free download in PDF and ePub. A 
paperback version is also available.
