Extractions: Location: City of Portage, W. Wisconsin and Cook Streets Considered the most important historian of the United States in the twentieth century, Frederick Jackson Turner brought a new understanding to the meaning of the American experience. He was born in Portage; his father was Andrew Jackson Turner, a longtime local newspaper editor and activist. Young Turner left Portage to study at the University of Wisconsin in Madison (B.A. 1884, M.A. 1888) and John Hopkins University in Baltimore (Ph. D 1890). He taught at the University of Wisconsin in Madison (1889-1910) and at Harvard University (1910-24) and, after a Madison stay, became senior research associate at the Huntington Library in California (1927-32). Turner's essay on "The Significance of the Frontier in American History," delivered in Chicago in 1893, reoriented the study of American history toward the nation's westward migration and its consequences. For over a half century Turner's frontier thesis, along with his own and his students' emphasis on the history of sections of the U.S., new research resources, and environmentalism, defined the American character and dominated research and teaching of the American experience.

Extractions: This selection is from David Daly and Joel Persky. "The Western: Myth and Reality," Journal of the West , April 1990. The single individual who most shaped our understanding of what the frontier was and of what it meant was Frederick Jackson Turner (1861-1932). Many historians believe that the paper he gave at the American HistoricalAssociation's conference in 1893, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History," ranks as a uniquely significant piece of historical scholarship. Turner argued that the West needed to be taken seriously. It was a point of view that was to be endorsed by future Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, both of whom were keenly interested in the study of history. The basis of the Turner Thesis was the idea that the phenomenon of a moving frontier, where one stage of development gives way to the next, explained what made America unique. The distinctive American national character, Turner said, was the result of the erosion of the influence of European culture as Whites encountered the raw, elemental nature of the frontier. Even American democracy, he said, was the product of the frontier. Rather than seeing the opening of the West as solely the result of the work of certain heroic individuals, Turner conceived of American history in much broader social terms. He understood the enormous challenge of survival the Western environment posed. Turner made clear the significance of the physical realities of the West in determining history. His influence can be seen in the work of filmmakers like John Ford, Sam Peckinpah, and Don Siegel. Many of these directors' films reflect a real sense of the immenseness, loneliness, and hardship that was the real West.

Extractions: A Research and Reference Guide - An Ongoing Project Paul P. Reuben Appendix L: The Frontier in American Literature The Frontier Hypothesis or the Turner Thesis Selected Bibliography: Books Selected Bibliography: Articles MLA Style Citation of this Web Page ... Home Page The Frontier Hypothesis or the Turner Thesis A Wisconsin historian, Frederick Jackson Turner , gave his frontier statement in a paper on "The Significance of the Frontier in American History" read before the American Historical Association at the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. According to Henry Nash Smith (listed below), Turner's statement revolutionized American histriography and eventually made itself felt in economics and sociology, in literary criticism, and even in politics. Turner's central contention was that "the existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward explain American development." Turner maintained that the West, not the proslavery South or the antislavery North, was the most important among American sections, and that the novel attitudes and institutions produced by the frontier, especially through its encouragement of democracy, had been more significant than the imported European heritage in shaping American society. Turner's most important debt to his intellectual traditions is the ideas of savagery and civilization that he uses to define the central factor of the frontier. His frontier is explicitly "the meeting point between savagery and civilization." From the standpoint of economic theory the wilderness beyond the frontier, the realm of savagery, is a constant receding area of free land. Free land tended to relieve poverty and fostered economic equality. Both these tendencies made for an increase of democracy. Turner was convinced that democracy, the rise of the common man, was one of the great movements of modern history.
