Although Lester Frank Ward's accomplishments are not as well known today, he is considered the father of American Sociology and his work profoundly influenced such important thinkers as Thorstein Veblen, John Dewey, Edward Ross, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman. In Apostle of Human Progress, Edward C. Rafferty presents the first full scale intellectual portrait of this important public thinker. Rafferty shows how Ward's thought laid the foundations for the modern administrative state and explores his contributions to twentieth century American liberalism. Ideal for anyone interested in the history of American intellectuals and ideas.

Apostle of human progress
Once upon a time, I taught a course on American political thought. And this is a text that I used. While there is nothing especially unique in this book, it is a nice and literate chronological examination of the evolution fo American thinking about politics.
The first two parts provide a general background--including the English context. Part three looks at the development of revolutionary thought, culminating with the Declaration of Independence. Part 4 focuses on the movement toweard an American Constitution. And on it goes. . . . The book ends with a discussion of "Postwar Conservatism and the New Left."
Published in 1972, this does a decent job of covering the subject up to that point in time.
