What The Wild West Was REALLY Like for Children…

Описание: “Kids these days don’t know how good they’ve got it.”

This is a popular American sentiment heard from folks of past generations, dating back centuries in the history of the United States. And for the most part, it rings true: life for any human being on Earth, whether it’s a child, fully grown adult, or the elderly, is drastically easier now than it ever was before. Of course, every era of human existence has its conditions that affect the overall quality of life. One such detail is the land in which someone resides; depending on the period of history they find themselves, it could make all the difference in their ultimate survival and longevity. The western frontier is one such place, harbouring a completely different way of life in the 19th century, both for the Native Americans already populating the plain as well as the white settlers migrating westward in search of a new life. To gain a better understanding of how exactly children lived during the most fascinating era in American history, here’s a deeper inspection into exactly how one would survive the wild west as nothing more than a youngling.
