The frontier was gone; and the frontiersmen there as elsewhere in the United States were adapting themselves to the life of a new century. Turner had already pointed out the significance of the frontier in our history, but the occasional historical pioneer who followed his lead must make his own tools, find his sources, and assemble his bibliographies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe time is ripe for … synthesis, in which an attempt is made to show the proportions of the whole story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor's Preface\u003cbr\u003eI.
