Frontier Mentality in the US:

http://www.edf.org/article.cfm?contentID=7030

This article is about settlers in central Texas and the natural resources it had to offer them. It talks about the abundance of resources available at the time of their settlement. It also talks about Texas landowners today still having the frontier mentality, enjoying America’s natural resources and doing what they can “invest in their land and build, rather then diminish, its habitat potential. They have the new frontier mentality of putting something back on the land, rather then the setter mentality of taking something away.”

It is about Americans appreciating their natural resources and their natural inhabitants.
