DJ/NF; price-clipped; sticker removal scar to upper front corner. Anthology of letters exchanged between historian & researcher with the Huntington Library, Frederick Jackson (1861 - 1932) and Alice Forbes Perkins Hooper (1910 -1932). Jackson's papers on "The Significance of the Frontier in American History" (printed 1894) inaugurated a new interpretation of the West; "The Significance of Sections in American History" (1932) earned him a posthumous Pultizer Prize.
