American Frontier

The American Frontier is the Westward expansion of the colonies in the early 17th century. Popular culture and the entertainment industry are focused on the Western US in the second half of the 19th century, post Civil War, a period sometimes called the Old West or the Wild West.  The reality was it wasn't always that wild- farming, mining, railroads, lumber and other industries were growing and were the driving forces of the day. 

We see an interesting mix of the Alamo, the Lone Ranger, Gary Cooper, Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Texas Rangers, Jim Bowie, cattle rustlers, gamblers, gun fighters and outlaws.  The Hatfields and McCoys, Billy the Kidd, Butch Cassidy the James Gang all seem romantic now.  The frontier transformed Americans and inspired our offerings.  We carry tomahawks, Bowie knives, frontier décor, powder horns and so much more.  Whether you side with the romance of it all or the wild side often portrayed in books, TV and film, we’ve got something interesting that captures the spirit of the American Frontier.   Made from authentic materials, often replicated from originals of the era, we have brought the frontier back.
