We have always been fascinated with this period of our history, when America was expanding west and average people were faced with make-or-break-it survival. The western frontier has been much romanticized over the years, from the wild west movies made in the ‘50s, to the charming t.v. series of the ‘70s, Little House on the Prairie. The stories of the early settlers will always inspire us, and for now, so do these names.
