tu (na) kraji neobsadenej zeme


Explanation:
voľnej krajiny, slobodnej zeme

"the place (miesto) where civilization dwindled away and wilderness began" ....
tu je zvysok citatu:

" American Indians, with un-European ideas about nations and property, did not erect barricades to the flow of settlers west. So the settlers thought of the frontier not as a marked border but as the place where civilization dwindled away and wilderness began".

Original 1676 - at: www.answers.com/topic/frontier

hither adv. - to or toward this place: Come hither
adj. located on the near side
to this place (especially toward the speaker) here

hither = here = hereat - na tomto mieste, tu just here on the spot
