Talk:Frontier myth

Neologism

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

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

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

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)

Article re-write?

Much of this article is subjective and poorly written. Universal Cabbage (talk) 20:15, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Terribly written.

Probably the worst Wikipedia article I've ever read. 72.214.55.3 (talk) 18:38, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Word salad and misinformation!

This article is mostly word salad, written in circles to intentionally spread misinformation about 1800s America. It basically says, “Many people believe this is true but it’s not, because my socialist anti-American professor said so… even though this happened and it actually is true…” 2600:100A:B113:789C:4CE9:76E4:FA9:C594 (talk) 15:22, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
