Question

Note to players: The word “title” in this question refers to the main title, and not any subtitles. A book titled for this place ironically notes “highly individualistic writers and programmers” are the only ones working from home. An essay titled for this place notes how the discovery of salt springs enabled the expansion and succession of this place. That essay titled for this place argues that it served as a “safety valve” and that the Germanic germ theory fails to account for the influence of the fall line on the farmer's (15[1])character. A Kenneth (*) Jackson history of the American suburbs (10[1])is titled for one of these places (10[1])made of crabgrass. An influential thesis about this place was written after the 1890 census officially declared it closed. For 10 points, a paper titled “The Significance of [what place] to American History?” introduced a thesis about what place by Frederick Jackson Turner? ■END■
