Excerpt from The Development of the United States From Colonies to a World Power

For over thirty years a new spirit has been gradually making its way into the study and interpretation of American history and taking other than political and military events into consideration. After the appearance of Bryce's American Commonwealth (1888), when instituting a comparison of this work with de Tocqueville's, Emile Boutmy wrote: "En un mot les Etats-Unis sont avant tout une societe economique; ils ne sont qu'a titre secondaire une societe historique et politique." McMaster's History of the People of the United States (1883) and Roosevelt's Winning of the West (1889) were indicative of the new history, while the greatest influence upon recent study has been exerted by Professor Frederick J. Turner through his classes and in his writings. Of the latter none has been more important than "The Influence of the Frontier in American History," which appeared in the Annual Report of the American Historical Association for 1893.
