Abstract
American social development has been continually beginning over again on the frontier. This perennial rebirth, this fluidity of American life, this expansion westward . . . furnish the forces dominating American character. . . . The frontier is the line of most rapid and effective Americanization. . . . The fact is, that here is a new product that is American. (Turner [1893] 1956, 2)
