A frontiersman is a person who lives or works on the edge of settled land, often in remote or wilderness areas. Historically, frontiersmen played a crucial role in exploring and settling new territories, particularly in North America during the 18th and 19th centuries. They were skilled in survival techniques, hunting, and navigation, often relying on their knowledge of the land. Frontiersmen are often associated with the expansion of the American frontier, which included interactions with Indigenous peoples and the establishment of new communities. Notable figures, such as Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, exemplify the adventurous spirit and resilience of frontiersmen during this period of exploration and settlement.
