CHAPTER 9: Frontier Towns.

Chapter 9 of the book "Everyday Life: The Frontier" is presented. It describes the early frontier towns in the U.S. Most frontier towns were farming communities that served the needs of homesteaders. A typical frontier town had a main street wide enough to allow wagons and teams of mules and horses to turn around. The general store was the most popular of all stores in a frontier town. Cow towns were described to be wild and rough places, but in time, frontier towns were tamed as law prevailed.
