>There is a myth that credits Horace Greely with the sentiment "If you have
>no family or friends to aid you... turn your face to the Great West and
>there build up your home and fortune... Go West, young man, and grow up
>with the country."

>Jackson Turner argued that dominant individualism democracy was the most
>important effect of the frontier. Turner told a triumphalist story, but his
>critics have argued that precisely the opposite was the case. Cooperation
>and communities of various sorts, not isolated individuals, made possible
>the absorption of the West into the United States. Moreover, revisionist
>scholars argue, the West has not been the land of freedom and opportunity
>that Turnerian history and popular mythology would have us believe. For
>many women, Asians, Mexicans who suddenly found themselves residents of the
>United States, and, of course, Indians, the West is no promised land.
