About Frontier

A wild word name in the realms of Prairie, Wilder, Ridge, and Summit, Frontier is an undiscovered option, most literally describing the boundary or border between two places and the extreme limit of understanding into a particular area. More broadly however, it is associated with the "American Frontier", or the "Old Wild West", when settlers in the US expanded their territories towards the specific coast.

In popular imagination, Frontier brings to mind cowboys, Old Western movies, Yellowstone National Park, and the works of writers such as James Fenimore Cooper, Zane Grey, Owen Wister, and Willa Cather.

Pronounced frun-TEER.
