Frederick Jackson Turner (1861-1932) presented an essay at the
World's Fair in Chicago in 1893 that would change the study of
American History forever. This essay would ultimately be published
with twelve supporting articles to form "The Frontier in American
History." Turner was an innovator in that he was one of the first
to call attention to the Frontier as an integral part of the study
of The United States of America. Turner himself grew up on the
Frontier, living in Wisconsin for the better part of his life. As a
child, he lived along the Wisconsin River in Portage, Wisconsin,
named for its use as a portage route by American Indians. Turner
was consumed by his interest in history his entire life, garnering
many degrees in history, both earned and honorary. Shortly after
his death, Turner was posthumously awarded a Pulitzer Prize for a
collection of essays, a latter volume of work on his study of
American History, "The Significance of Sections in American
History."
