The title describes a frontier scene shown as it was practiced, meaning the routines of daily work rather than a single dramatic event. Inexpensive prints like this one circulated widely in the nineteenth century, when lithography put pictures of American settlement into homes far from the edge of the map. The "(2)" suggests it belongs to a numbered set, and comparing it with its companions shows how such series built a shared picture of westward life.
