history of our country in Its proper
perspective. He alluded to the work of
William Jackson Turner of Wisconsin,
th pioneer historian of the west, who
haa, he says, changed th viewpoint of
the historian. Formerly all our history
waa written from the view-point of Ply

excite th ambitious amateur. .
