David S. BROWN. Beyond the Frontier: The Midwestern Voice in American Historical Writing
Andrew CaytonARTICLEThe American Historical Review2013
Place matters, argues David S. Brown in this collection of engaging essays on historians born in the American Midwest between the 1860s and the 1950s. Words matter, too. Brown's characterization of his subjects as “Midwestern” small-town boys is a rhetorical cul-de-sac. The most compelling writing about place is very particular, and Brown does best when he focuses on Madison, Wisconsin, and the appeal of “the Wisconsin Idea—an experiment combinin…

On the Significance of War, or Why Conquest is Not Necessarily Conquest: The Case of the Nineteenth‐Century United States–Mexican Border
Open AccessAndrew CaytonARTICLEHistory Compass2006References: 16
One strand of recent work on the nineteenth‐century borderlands between the United States and Mexico attempts to overturn Anglo‐American conventional wisdom by turning heroes into villains. Another, more significant strand reflects a general tendency among academic historians to focus on the importance of long‐term demographic, social, and economic developments at the expense of military and political events. Episodes in on‐going struggles, wars …
Frontiers and Boundaries in U.S. History
Andrew Cayton, A R L CaytonARTICLEJournal of American History2006
The editors of this collection, Cornelis A. van Minnen and Sylvia L. Hilton, introduce it by asserting that it discusses theoretical and practical aspects of the definition and demarcation of frontiers and boundaries, their transgression, and their relationship with identities and the exercise of power. (p. 1) Such an intimidating statement of purpose, as admirable in ambition as it is generic in character, is their valiant effort to bring cohere…

Together, their papers offer us an opportunity to think continentally, to understand the history of the United States as part of the history of North America. As important, they provoke us to contemplate narratives of continental histor…
