  • "The frontier has always been a quintessential part of what makes America unique, and according to renowned historian Frederick Jackson Turner, it did more than stoke the imaginations of early pioneers -- it actually helped to shape American democracy and institutions. This engaging volume explains and expands on Turner's Frontier Thesis, one of the most significant concepts in the study of American history."@en
  • "Frederick Jackson Turner's The Frontier in American History dominated the historical profession for almost half a century after it was delivered in 1893. The “frontier thesis offered a compelling interpretation of how the frontier played the decisive role in shaping a distinctly American identity. Traditionally, most historians argued that America's important institutions derived from English and European sources, and when they did look for the origins of an “American character, they focused on eastern groups, such as the Puritans of New England. Completely rejecting the reigning orthodoxy, Turner argued that the crucial element transforming Europeans into Americans was the process of settling the continent. Today his essay remains a profound influence on how Americans imagine themselves as individuals and as a nation."
  • "The author argues that the availability of cheap land in the American West is the lens through which the history of the United States should be viewed."@en
  • "Commentaries in different periods on the central theme of the influence of the frontier in American history."
  • "A collection of studies presenting a view of American expansion and the significance of the frontier in shaping American character, ideals, and democracy."
  • "In this series of essays first published in 1920, the noted historian presents his ideas on the role of the frontier in shaping the American experience. The Frontier in American History examines the importance of the unsettled West as both idea and physical reality. Turner's essays explore the changing frontier as it moved progressively westward and discuss the contributions of the pioneers in each frontier area to the development of modern American democracy."
