To all Americans, have you heard of the Frontier?
I know an American (I'm Canadian) who claims to have never heard of the Frontier. Is this an anomaly or is it true that this is not a term Americans use/used to describe the area of the Wild West. The frontier being the line at which the west was settled...?
Thank you! I knew I wasn't crazy!

Davey, Davey Crocket. King of the wild frontier. Yes it's a term from the 1700's and 1800's for the unexplored areas west of the settled areas.

Not the line at which the west was settled. The west was settled 40,000 years ago. By us. The frontier was the line in the east beyond which the area was infested with greedy, bloodthirsty European invaders.
