Frederic Logan Paxson (February 23, 1877 in Philadelphia – October 24, 1948 in Berkeley, California) was a Pulitzer Prize winning American historian. He had also been President of the Organization of American Historians. He had degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University. From 1932 to 1947 he taught at the University of California. As a historian he was considered an authority on the American West. His 1925 Pulitzer Prize was for ''History of the American Frontier, 1763-1893''.〔(books.google.com )〕 Among his students was Earl S. Pomeroy, a historian of the American West. The term "Historical Engineering" was coined by Mr. Paxson to describe the wartime work he had done in revising textbooks to suit the ''mood'' of the era, by "explaining the issues of the war that we might the better win it." ==Works== * ''The Independence of the South American Republics: A Study in Recognition and Foreign Policy'', 1903.〔(archive.org )〕 * ''The Last American Frontier'', 1910.〔(archive.org )〕 * ''The Civil War'', 1911.〔(archive.org )〕 * ''The Rise of Sport'', Mississippi Valley Historical Review, Sept. 1917.〔(archive.org )〕 * ''War Cyclopedia: A Handbook for Ready Reference on the Great War'', 1918 (ed.).〔(arhive.org )〕 * ''The New Nation'', 1919.〔(books.google.com )〕 * ''History of the American Frontier, 1763-1893'', 1924.〔(books.google.com )〕 * ''The Great Demobilization'', American Historical Association Presidential Address, Dec. 29, 1938.〔(historians.org )〕 * ''America at War, 1917-1918'', 1939.〔(archive.org )〕 * ''Postwar Years, Normalcy, 1918-1923'', 1948.〔(books.google.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frederic L.
