The new lands in the western US were often rugged and the physical conditions difficult to survive, so that early settlers often seemed to be battling nature as a foe or enemy.

There were no prepared dwellings in the newly settled lands, and few natural features that offered protection from the elements. The pioneers and settlers faced harsh weather such as rains, floods, winds, dust storms, and extremes of heat and cold. The trails they used needed to be cleared of rocks and trees, and they had to Ford rivers and cross mountains. These hardships tested the abilities of the frontiersmen and settlers, who in some cases adopted the methods of the native Indians.
