What does grandfather mean in The Red Pony when he says westering has died out of the people?

I was wondering this myself, but i believe that it means when the pioneers were trying to move and find more land westward. Since Jody's parents are middle-aged, and the novel is set in the very early 1900's, grandfather could be old enough to have been a pioneer. Since westering was such a hardship, it was why grandfather couldnt let go of that time in his life. Westering was so impprtant to the men of that time that they had almost a "hunger" for it. Because westering was no longer important to the men of the new age, it had died out of them. Sorry for the long answer :P
