Description: New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1932 8vo red cloth with deckled fore and bottom edges, 347 pp. Very good minus condition. Some browning to endsheets, soiling to top of text block. Spine slightly sunned and gilt on spine dulled. This is the first edition of The Significance of Sections in American History by Frederick Jackson Turner (1861-1932). This volume, a call to new methods in historical writing and research, won turner a posthumous Pulitzer Prize in History in 1933. Turner’s most lasting legacy is his 1893 essay “The Significance of Frontier in American History” out of which arose his Frontier Thesis. This volume both expands on and in many ways refutes this past thesis with a call to integrate new fields of social sciences including studies of immigration, urbanization, and social development into the practice of history. This copy, with clean boards and sharp corners, is a very attractive example of this scarce title.
