The Frontier in American History is a seminal work of American history written by Frederick Jackson Turner, an influential historian of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. First published in 1920, the book is a collection of essays that explore the role of the frontier in shaping American identity and culture.Turner argues that the American frontier was a unique and defining feature of American history, providing a space for social and economic experimentation, as well as a source of individualism and democracy. He traces the evolution of the frontier from its earliest days as a wilderness to the closing of the western frontier in the late 19th century, and examines the impact of this process on American society and culture.The book is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the frontier experience. The first section examines the geography and ecology of the frontier, while the second looks at the role of the frontier in shaping American democracy and individualism. The third section explores the impact of the frontier on American culture, including literature, art, and religion. The final section considers the legacy of the frontier in modern America, and the challenges facing the nation as it moves beyond the frontier era.The Frontier in American History is widely regarded as a classic work of American history, and has had a profound influence on the study of American history and culture. Its ideas continue to shape our understanding of the American experience, and remain relevant to contemporary debates about the role of the frontier in shaping American identity and values.This is a new release of the original 1920 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
