I find the wording of that a little… strange? “The man chiefly responsible for [the myth’s] acceptance” sure sounds like he was warning of all of the dangers that came with it. I wouldn’t say he was promoting acceptance of such a culture.
Or am I misreading that? Are they saying Turner was wrong, that such an individualistic streak in American life (then and/or now) is fictional, not actually present?
