My Antonia A Pioneers Life Life on the frontier was dangerous for everyone who lived there. Whether you were from there or an immigrant just moving to the plain it was difficult. There homes were rugged, there was fighting over tools and animals, feuding between families, men and women committed suicide, the language barrier for immigrants and the weather were hard on everyone and everything. Frontier life in general was hard. In modern America, the land is overpopulated, over cultivated, and buildings as far as the eyes can see. When one thinks of frontier life one thinks of rough looking men and women struggling to survive. Our viewpoint is not far from the truth of the lives that many men and women spent under the starts giving us the land that we now have. The frontier in that day was barren of houses, fields and people. “The little town of Hanover, anchored on a windy Nebraska tableland, was trying not to be blown away…low drab buildings huddled on the gray prairie, under a gray sky” (Cather, Pioneers 1).
