Frederick Jackson Turner revolutionized American history with his 1893 essay presented at the Chicago World's Fair, emphasizing the significance of the Frontier in shaping the nation. Growing up in Wisconsin, Turner drew from his personal experiences to advocate for a deeper understanding of American identity through its frontier history. His pioneering ideas were later compiled into "The Frontier in American History," accompanied by twelve supporting articles. Posthumously, he received a Pulitzer Prize for his continued contributions to historical scholarship, highlighting his lasting impact on the field.
