摘要
The frontier myth has served as America's secular creation story. As a result, it surfaces widely in popular culture and political discourse. It also resonates in news coverage. This paper explores how the American press framed the Mexican Revolution as a mythical frontier narrative by examining depictions of revolutionary Francisco "Pancho" Villa. The news story that emerges bears close resemblance to the frontier thesis, as articulated by historian Frederick Jackson Turner.
