Item description from seller

THE MISSION AS A FRONTIER INSTITUTION IN THE SPANISH-AMERICAN COLONIES (Academic Reprints), Herbert E. Bolton, introduction by John Alexander Carroll, softcover, 2-staple binding, 1962 (1917). ITEM CONDITION: good. The text block is in near fine condition with no dogears, tears, or marks. There is no bookplate, but the signature of a prior owner is written inside the front cover. This is not a library book nor a remainder. The illustrated wraps are in near fine condition (slight crinkling along edges). 9 ¼ x 6, 24 pages, 4 ounces XX (From the Introduction) AT THE AGE OF 47, midway in a remarkable career, Herbert E. Bolton of the University of California prepared this paper in 1917. In it he set down a major historical thesis that had been building in his mind since an exploratory visit to the archives of Mexico City in the summer of 1902. After many such summers of research and years of deliberation, Professor Bolton now was ready to define a large historiographical problem in a geographical area of vast size: the frontiering experience of Spain in the New World. Toward the beginning of the article Bolton referred admiringly to Frederick Jackson Turner, the suggestive teacher at the University of Wisconsin who had awakened his historical curiosity two decades earlier. "Professor Turner," he wrote, "has devoted his life to a study of the Anglo-American frontier, and rich has been his reward. Scarcely less conspicuous in the history of the Western world than the advance of the Anglo-American frontier has been the spread of Spanish culture." Out of this idea soon came Bolton's historico-geographic concept of the Spanish Borderlands—and ultimately his magisterial view of the hemispheric oneness of the history of the New World, the Epic of Greater America which Bolton urged his professional colleagues to recognize in a memorable presidential address to the American Historical Association in 1932. Bolton's 1917 article may well be regarded as an essay of commanding importance simply for the reason that it was a distinguished historian's unabashed and unqualified declaration of his faith in a chosen field of study. Yet the significance of the paper does not rest on this reason alone. Here also is a gifted interpreter's pioneering synthesis of historical phenomena of impressive body and sweep. Nowhere in the mountain of historical literature is there to be found a small stone of the type and brilliance of this one. Nowhere is there so comprehensive and yet so succinct, so closely reasoned or so finely written an exposition of the total role of the Spanish adelantados over almost three centuries of their colonizing effort.
