The encounter between the New and Old Worlds and the subsuquent conquest of the New by the Old is one of the most dramatic events in human history. The Age of the American Frontier is a narrative history podcast that aims to tell this story - from the establishment of the Jamestown colony to the 20th century. It is a tale of how the world we know today came to be and also of how ordinary people from every continent navigated some of the most transformative centuries in human history.
