He gives us a picture of the nation, in context, at each frontier, in a fairly small sized book (somehow).
Frederick Jackson Turner was an extremely influential U.S. historian, who is best known for his "frontier thesis", which proposed that American democracy was profoundly shaped by the existence of an undeveloped frontier area from the founding through the 1880s.
