As the century draws to a close, the scars of systematic ethnic cleansing of native peoples along with US claims on land stretching the span of the entire continent, seemingly ends 'the frontier' chapter in American history.
The Frontier explores the legends, events and folklore of the American frontier which have embedded themselves into its culture so much so that the Old West, especially the Western genre of films, has become one of the defining periods of American national identity.
