He trained many PhDs who came to occupy prominent places in the history profession. He promoted interdisciplinary and quantitative methods, often with a focus on the Midwest. He is best known for his essay \"The Significance of the Frontier in American History\", whose ideas formed the Frontier Thesis. He argued that the moving western frontier shaped American democracy and the American character from the colonial era until 1890. He is also known for his theories of geographical sectionalism. In recent years historians and academics have argued strenuously over Turner's work; all agree that the Frontier Thesis has had an enormous impact on historical scholarship and the American mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Jackson Turner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540786102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540786104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Frederick Jackson Turner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067346022655,"sku":"9781540786104","price":11.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c0a19386-8e8e-4d99-a303-3aec4e4b2c0b.jpg?v=1685412678","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-frontier-in-american-history-frederick-jackson-turner-9781540786104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
