Beard, Carl Becker, Vernon Louis Parrington, and Daniel Boorstin, and finds in them a common tradition which he calls anit-historical. He argues that this viewpoint is founded in the frontier interpretation of American history, that American historians have served as the chief political theorists and theologians of this country since 1830, and that their writings can be interpreted as Jeremiads designed to preserve a national covenant with nature.Frontier thesisFrontier and pioneer lifeUnited StatesHistoriographyUnited StatesTerritorial expansionHistoriographyFrontier thesis.Frontier and pioneer lifeHistoriography.973.01Noble David W139743MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809377203321Historians against history3930122UNINA
