Book
Old west/new west / Gene M. Gressley, editor.
Since 1893, Frederick Jackson turner's frontier thesis -"the existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward"- has influenced scholars seeking to understand the nature of the West. The imperialistic, optimistic, and positive Turner has been challenged in recent years, however, by a group of young scholars dubbed the "New West" historians. In contrast to the Old West historiography, these New West historians perceive the settlement of the West as a negative experience (conquest is the key word). They contend the Old West historians are patently jingoistic and neglectful of minorities, ethnics, and the environment. In Old West/ New West, six distinguished historians - Carl Abbott, Patricia Nelson Limerick, Gerald Nash, Malcolm Rohrbough, Gerald Thompson, and Donald Worster- debate the approaches to each school of thought when studying the West. Editor Gene M. Gressley provides and introduction setting the context5 for the Old West/New West battleground.
