Frontier, then, in an unsubtle concept in a subtle world. Even so, the idea of the frontier is obviously worth studying as a historical artifact. The idea played an enormous role in national behavior, but so did the ideas of savagery and civilization, concepts that are currently not well respected as analytic terms. I certainly do not discount the power of the concept “frontier” in American history. My point is that historian is obligated to understand how people saw theirown times, but not obligated to adopt their terminology and point of view.”(25)
If a quotation is over five lines long, it should be single-spaced and indented. Incidentally, the final paper should be double-spaced.

On December 10th, 1941 President Franklin D. Roosevelt designated Pueblo, Colorado as a Defense Area creating expectations of operations which would affect the business life of the city. It was learned on December 21 that Pueblo had definitely been selected for the location of an ammunition storage facility. On December 27, 1941 The War Department obtained 3700 acres of land through condemnation and purchases from private owners to construct the Pueblo Army AirBase (PAAB) approximately four miles east of the city limits of Pueblo. Concurrently, land was being obtained for construction of the Pueblo Ordnance Depot (POD) just north of North Avondale.
