A man who had an encyclopedic knowledge of American history, Frederick Jackson Turner made a huge difference in American culture with his document "Frontier Thesis" AKA "The Significance of the Frontier in American History".
"The existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement, explain American development." he stated in his famous document, "The Significance of the Frontier in American History".
Fredrick gained his Ph. D. in history from John Hopkins university in 1890 with a thesis on the Wisconsin fur trade, directed by Herbert Baxter Adams . As a professor of history at Wisconsin (1890–1910), and later Harvard (1911–1924), Turner trained scores of disciples, who in turn dominated American history programs throughout the country.
