7 20. In the settlement of merica we have to observe how European life entered the continent, and how [the merican frontier] modified and developed that life... The frontier is the line of most rapid and effective mericanization. The wilderness masters the colonist. It finds him a European in dress, industries, tools, modes of travel, and thought... It strips off the garments of civilization and arrays him in the hunting shirt and the moccasin... He must accept the conditions which it furnishes, or perish... Little by little he transforms the wilderness, but the outcome is not the old Europe... The fact is, that here is a new product that is merican... Thus the advance of the frontier has meant a steady movement away from the influence of Europe, a steady growth of independence on merican lines. nd to study this advance, the men who grew up under these conditions, and the political, economic, and social results of it, is to study the really merican part of our history.
