Frederick Jackson Turner by Jeffrey B. Flagg Frederick Jackson Turner was born in Portage, Wisconsin, on November 14, 1861, the oldest of three children born to a family whose lineage could be traced back to English Puritans from the seventeenth century. After early work as a newspaper editor, Turner entered the University of Wisconsin in 1880. Upon graduation four years later, Turner returned briefly to newspaper stints in Chicago and Milwaukee before accepting a university instructorship in oratory at the University of Wisconsin. He eventually earned his Masters of Arts in History at Wisconsin and went on to receive his doctorate at Johns Hopkins University in the same field. Turner then returned to Wisconsin, where he became Assistant Professor of History in 1889.It was only four years later, in 1893, that Turner delivered his most famous work, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History," at a meeting of the American Historical Association , as part of the 1893 World's Columbian Exibition in Chicago, also known as the Chicago World's Fair. Though not seen as particularly important when Turner delivered his paper in July of 1893 (Turner's own parents, in Chicago for the Fair, did not even bother to attend), the work eventually became recognized as a seminal work in understanding the importance of frontier ideology and its pervasiveness in American cultural thinking. The impetus of the frontier thesis was Turner's fervent belief that historians up to that time had not devoted sufficient research to what he termed in an earlier essay "the fundamental, dominating fact in United States history," the territorial expansion from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.

PEOPLE A-C D-H I-R ... Young, Brigham Frederick Jackson Turner "The existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward explain American development." With these words, Frederick Jackson Turner laid the foundation for modern historical study of the American West and presented a "frontier thesis" that continues to influence historical thinking even today. Turner was born in Portage, Wisconsin, in 1861. His father, a journalist by trade and local historian by avocation, piqued Turner's interest in history. After his graduation from the University of Wisconsin in 1884, Turner decided to become a professional historian, and received his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 1890. He served as a teacher and scholar at the University of Wisconsin from 1889 to 1910, when he joined Harvard's faculty. He retired in 1924 but continued his research until his death in 1932. Turner's contribution to American history was to argue that the frontier past best explained the distinctive history of the United States. He most cogently articulated this idea in "The Significance of the Frontier in American History," which he first delivered to a gathering of historians in at Chicago, then the site of the World's Columbian Exposition, an enormous fair to mark the four-hundredth anniversary of Columbus' voyage. Although almost totally ignored at the time, Turner's lecture eventually gained such wide distribution and influence that a contemporary scholar has called it "the single most influential piece of writing in the history of American history."

Throughout his career, he continually elaborated and nuanced these ideas in both classes and writings. His books included Rise of the New West The Frontier in American History (1920) and The Significance of Sections in American History (1932), which was awarded a Pulitzer Prize the year after Turner's death.

4. Frederick Jackson Turner, The Frontier Thesis (1893) Frederick Jackson Turner's essay, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History " Jeffrey B. Flagg's "Frederick Jackson Turner, 18611932" Prepared by Professor Catherine http://www.library.csi.cuny.edu/dept/history/lavender/frontier.html

Frederick Jackson Turner, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History" (1893) Frederick Jackson Turner's essay, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History," written in 1893, is perhaps the most influential essay ever read at the American Historical Association's annual conference. In the years since it was delivered, it has become part of the standard historiography of American History, spawned a massive following of "Turnerians" both in and out of the academy, and several "anti-Turnerian" revolutions, including the movement called "The New Western History." In this course, we will be reading Turner's essay in several manners: as a reflection of the 1890s, as a statement of American expansionism, as an idea in American thought, as an historical philosophy, and as the site of debate over the meaning of the "frontier" in American culture. Questions to Consider: 1) What is The Frontier Thesis? What role does Turner argue the frontier has played in American history? 2) What does Turner say about American distinctiveness (or "exceptionalism") in the essay? What evidence does he provide for his argument? 3) Trace the process which Turner identifies as "Americanization." How does that process proceed? What are the steps and stages along the way?

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History TURNER, FREDERICK JACKSON , historian. Turner was educated at the University of Wisconsin and received his doctorate from Johns Hopkins University (1891). He taught at Wisconsin and at Harvard and then served as a senior research associate at the Huntington Library until his death. He was a gifted public speaker with a vibrant voice, and he loved the outdoors. Turner made significant contributions to many fields in American history and also pioneered new methodologies. He challenged historians to utilize the research in cognate disciplines such as geography, statistics, economics, and sociology. His research, methods, and sources were often so different from those of traditional historians that some of them doubted that he was one himself, but he argued that historians should use whatever knowledge and tools would help them explain the past. He urged American historians to escape the parochialism of New England and the Seaboard South and to study immigration and assimilation, urbanization, diplomacy, economic history, political behavior, social and cultural history, and the frontier experience. His nostalgic view of frontier Wisconsin led him to rebel against the conventional wisdom of his generation. He was trained by Herbert Baxter Adams at Hopkins, who endorsed German scientific methods of historical investigation and espoused the so-called germ theory, which held that all American institutions derived from early Germanic tribal practices. Turner's doctoral dissertation on the Indian trade in Wisconsin only partly accepted Adams's ideas.
