Frederick Jackson Turner, American historian during the early twentieth century, based at the University of Wisconsin-Madison until 1910, and then at Harvard University. He was known primarily for his frontier thesis. He trained many PhDs who went on to become well-known historians. He promoted interdisciplinary and quantitative methods, often with an emphasis on the Midwestern United States.

Turner’s essay “The Significance of the Frontier in American History” included ideas that formed the frontier thesis. Turner’s sectionalism essays are collected in The Significance of Sections in American History, which won the Pulitzer Prize in History in 1933.

Author Carl Becker (A pupil of Turner) was an American historian who studied the American Revolution and the Age of Enlightenment in America and Europe. Cornell has recognized his work as an educator by naming one of its five new residential colleges the Carl Becker House.
Becker is best known for The Heavenly City of the Eighteenth-Century Philosophers (1932), four lectures on The Enlightenment delivered at Yale University.
