The M-Factor in American History
IS THERE ANY SUCH THING AS NATIONAL CHARACTER? IN PARTICULAR, IS there, or has there ever been, an American Character? Many critics question, or even deny the idea. Students of American civilization generally seem to start out by thinking there must be an American Character. But then they encounter great difficulties in defining this characterthat is, they find too many different or contradictory types, none of the types unique, all of them appea…

The Frontier and American Institutions a Criticism of the Turner Theory
The predicament of the scholar, who has been living in a comfortable frontier philosophy, is beginning to attract some attention. Nor may we comfort ourselves with the assurance that ours is a purely academic debate. For frontier legends of one kind or another have now so permeated American thought as to threaten drastic consequences.
