   Extractions: 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.

2. Frederick Jackson Turner, The Frontier Thesis (1893)

   Extractions: "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?

   Extractions: PEOPLE A-C D-H I-R ... Young, Brigham "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."

    Extractions: Teacher's Guide Language Arts Listed below are examples of classroom exercises for educators to use with their students during the United We Read community-wide reading campaign. Journalism Organize a class into groups and have each group produce a newspaper from Holt, Kansas reporting on local events Create a graphic novel of the book. Poetry Have your students write a poem about one of the characters in the novel. The poem could be about the character's actions in the novel, or a poem that describes the character. Students could write a sonnet about Plainsong , or a haiku about a character. Have your students write a poem about the Plains. Short Stories A good project for students might be rewriting the ending of the book. If one character made a different choice than was written how would that affect the ending of the novel? Also a classroom discussion of choices versus outcomes would be great for students after they have completed a written activity. Speech Select issues from the novel, e.g. bullying, teen pregnancy, mental illness, single parent families, aging, and make speeches about the issue which relate to the book dealing with the same subject. Students could discuss how to solve those problems vis-à-vis the characters and how to get assistance for these issues in their own communities.
