Does the Frontier Experience Make America Exceptional?
All right, so I may have skipped an essay or two, but I read what was assigned. I'll probably look over the others later, but what I read was intriguing. I came down on the more Turnerian side, probably reacting to the over-reactionary anti-Turnerians. I think Turner has a valid analysis, but one which never should have been taken to the extremes it was. Still, I buy into the significance of his frontier thesis more than some.
