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. 606 $aFrontier thesis 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life$zUnited States$xHistoriography 607 $aUnited States$xTerritorial expansion$xHistoriography 615 0$aFrontier thesis. 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life$xHistoriography. 676 $a973.01 700 $aNoble$b David W$0139743 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809377203321 996 $aHistorians against history$93930122 997 $aUNINA
