Frederick Jackson Turner was an American historian during the early 20th century. He was based at the University of Wisconsin-Madison until 1910 and then at Harvard University. He was known primarily for his frontier thesis. He trained many Ph. D.s who went on to become well-known historians. He promoted interdisciplinary and quantitative methods, often emphasizing the Midwestern United States.

Turner's essay "The Significance of the Frontier in American History" included ideas that formed the frontier thesis.

Turner's sectionalism essays are collected in The Significance of Sections in American History, which won the Pulitzer Prize in History in 1933. (Wikipedia)
