Abstract:
The first American frontier lay just beyond the Appalachian Mountains and along the Gulf Coast. Here, successive groups of pioneers built new societies and developed new institutions to cope with life in the wilderness. This book tells the dramatic story of these men and women from the first Kentucky settlements to the closing of the frontier.
