Jacobs chronicles Turner's professional (and sometimes personal) bequest through 100 years of Western writing. He traces the intellectual development of Turner's frontier theory; explores the intense rivalry between two major Turnerian disciplines, Frederick Merk and Jay A. Billington, as they vied for control of Turner's legacy; and analyzes the efforts of new western historians who seek to erase Turner and Billington from the landscape of what is now called the history of the "West."
