Excerpt from The Real America in Romance, Vol. 6
By this change, the long Atlantic reach became English, and the energies of the race began that strenuous westerly advance which enables every American to boast of pioneer blood. The first red frontier extended not a furlong from the ocean rollers; every step westward was made in the face of savage resistance. With isolated exceptions, every town in America was once a frontier village, the streets of which echoed to the war-whoop of the Indian. These outposts maintained themselves against the ferocities of the aborigines by the sheer use of the weapons of war. The struggle with the austerities of nature was only less desperate.
