The Passing of the Frontier

by Emerson Hough

Overview

The Passing of the Frontier-A Chronicle of the Old West is a classic American history text by Emerson Hough.

The frontier! There is no word in the English language more stirring, more intimate, or more beloved. It has in it all the elan of the old French phrase, En avant! It carries all of the old Saxon command, Forward!! It means all that America ever meant. It means the old hope of a real personal liberty, and yet a real human advance in character and achievement. To a genuine American it is the dearest word in all the world.
