Neologism[edit]

This article is about a neologism, apparently invented right here... Tomer ^talk 23:28, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: mention of this term is made in neither of the references cited even. Tomer ^talk 23:31, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found a 1949 reference for the term "frontier myth". Perhaps it could be used in the article, but someone with more knowledge than me of the history of the Old West would be better suited to decide.

Changes[edit]

I think there are parts missing to this article - I'm working on a paragraph on Frederick Jackson Turner, Henry Nash Smith and a new section on New Western History. Niccur (talk) 08:31, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
