Turner, in his time the leading historian of the American frontier, and Hooper, a wealthy and knowledgeable patron, were both involved with the Harvard Commission of Western History. Over a score of years they exchanged more than 600 letters. This volume contains about half of them, arranged in seven groupings based on time period. Each grouping is prefaced by a brief essay.
