Frederick Jackson Turner
b. 11-14-1861; Portage, WI
d. 3-14-1932

Frederick Jackson Turner is remembered for his “Frontier Thesis”, which was first presented during the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.

Frederick Jackson Turner quotes ~
“Each type of industry was on the march toward the West, impelled by an irresistible attraction. Each passed in successive waves across the continent. Stand at Cumberland Gap and watch the procession of civilization, marching single file – the buffalo following the trail to the salt springs, the Indian, the fur trader and hunter, the cattle-raiser, the pioneer farmer – and the frontier has passed by. Stand at South Pass in the Rockies a century later and see the same procession with wider intervals between.”
• “The West is now closed.”
