Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2014 Reprint of 1894 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. The "Frontier Thesis" or "Turner Thesis," is the argument advanced by historian Frederick Jackson Turner in 1894 that American democracy was formed by the American Frontier. He stressed the process-the moving frontier line-and the impact it had on pioneers going through the process. He also stressed consequences of a ostensibly limitless frontier and that American democracy and egalitarianism were the principle results. In Turner's thesis the American frontier established liberty by releasing Americans from European mindsets and eroding old, dysfunctional customs. The frontier had no need for standing armies, established churches, aristocrats or nobles, nor for landed gentry who controlled most of the land and charged heavy rents. Frontier land was free for the taking. Turner first announced his thesis in a paper entitled "The Significance of the Frontier in American History," delivered to the American Historical Association in 1893 in Chicago. He won very wide acclaim among historians and intellectuals. Turner's emphasis on the importance of the frontier in shaping American character influenced the interpretation found in thousands of scholarly histories. By the time Turner died in 1932, 60% of the leading history departments in the U.S. were teaching courses in frontier history along Turnerian lines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By surveying the religiously pluralistic setting of the eighteenth and early-nineteenth-century Shenandoah Valley, Longenecker reveals how the fabric of American pluralism was woven. Calling worldliness the "mainstream" and otherworldliness, "outsidernesss," Shenandoah Religion describes the transition certain denominations made in becoming mainstream and the resistance of others in maintaining distinctive dress, manners, social relations, economics, and apolitical viewpoints.

Download or read book Rediscovering Christanna written by John Kincheloe and published by Spirit Lines Press. This book was released on 2019-01-19 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The broad intent of Rediscovering Christanna is to document in a balanced way the important but largely overlooked history of Alexander Spotswood's Fort Christanna (1714-1718). In his book the author weaves together Colonial and Native narratives to give an expanded and culturally balanced account of what transpired in and around this colonial Virginia fort. The book provides an accessible overview of the Virginia governor's motivations and actions related to the creation of his fur trading fort, emphasizing its intended defensive, entrepreneurial, and educational functions. Beyond that, the book breaks new ground by focusing on the Native contexts for their interactions at Christanna -- their intentions as Indian people, the cultural meanings of indigenous actions, their educational experiences, and tribal strategies related to the fort. Drawing on ethnology, new archaeology, and a fresh look at primary historical documents, this book presents a multi-faceted and original account of a place where, in a perilous time, numerous American Indian tribes engaged the English to acquire European trade goods, to make war, or to make treaties. The author documents the reasons for and physical characteristics of the Governor's fort, emphasizing the importance of Indian labor and agency in all aspects of the fort's operations. The narrative also traces the complex English and intertribal conflicts that led to the fort's eventual demise. A related concern in the book is the historical and archaeological importance of the as yet undiscovered town, Chunkete Posse, that was built close to the fort by Saponie Indians. Significant features of the book are its emphasis on how tribal identities of the Christanna Indians persisted following the English abandonment of Fort Christanna, and on the importance of women's roles and stories in the historical account. Rediscovering Christanna is particularly valuable as it shows how the strategies of a small group of remnant Eastern Siouan tribes were successful against their powerful enemies - both English and Indian. It shows how what happened at Fort Christanna, situated in a cultural crossroads between the English and many Native peoples, was important in the formation of the colonies and the development of American Indian policy.

Download or read book Bacon s Rebellion 1676 written by Thomas J. Wertenbaker and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume resumes the story of Governor William Berkeley upon his return from England in 1659, then moves the reader quickly to that quintessential political embroglio of 17th-century America--Bacon's Rebellion of 1676. Convinced about the Governor's lack of concern for their safety and economic well being, a group of rebellious frontier planters cast their lot with Berkeley's cousin and former ally on the Governor's Council, Nathaniel Bacon. Bacon soon found himself at the head of a force of 2,000 men that routed the Pamunkeys and ultimately took possession of all of Virginia west of the Chesapeake Bay. Although Berkeley would emerge victorious, executing a number of Bacon's lieutenants, he was himself recalled to England five months later, scarcely three months before his own demise. An extraordinary episode in colonial history, Bacon's Rebellion may have been an earlier century's harbinger of the limits to which America's colonists would permit themselves to be ruled by a tyrant.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Frontier Biography written by Dan L. Thrapp and published by Arthur H. Clark Company. This book was released on 1988 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stretching from "Aaron, Sam, Arizona pioneer" to "Zutacapan, Acomo pueblo chief," the three-volume Encyclopedia of Frontier Biography, and Supplemental-volume 4, profiles approximately 4,500 frontier pioneers and Native Americans. Dan L. Thrapp's comprehensive work will interest scholars, researchers, and general readers curious about the figures who developed, defended, decorated, and devilized the American West. All the famous ones are here: Volume I (A-F) includes Billy the Kid, Daniel Boone, Calamity Jane, George Custer, Buffalo Bill, Cochise, and John C. Fremont, among others. There are also entries for worthies less well known: Big Nose Kate, Nellie Cashman, Scott Cooley, to cite a few. Even Gary Cooper and other actors who portrayed westerners are sketched in. Thrapp's richly detailed biographies are continued in Volumes II (G-O) and III (P-Z). Thrapp has included seventeenth- and eighteenth-century figures in both New France and New England, as well as the trans-Appalachian country, but the majority are nineteenth-century men and women who discovered, settled, fought for, or simply lived in the raw lands west of the Mississippi River.
