Abstract

In the summer of 1893, at the Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition, Frederick Jackson Turner a minor academic in the new discipline of social science, presented his now-famous paper on the closing of the American frontier. What came to be known as the Turner Thesis (1893) forever changed thinking about the influence and importance of the frontier and how dramatic changes of the frontier profoundly impact future economic and social issues. His thesis was deemed so significant that it is still taught at colleges and universities today.
