Read the excerpt from David Crockett: His Life and Adventures by John S. C. Abbott. The table was often a large slab of timber, hewn out with a broad-axe, and supported by four stakes driven into auger-holes. The table furniture consisted of a few pewter dishes, with wooden plates and bowls. There were generally a few pewter spoons, much battered about the edges, but most of the spoons were of horn, homemade. Crockery, so easily broken, was almost unknown. Table knives were seldom seen. The deficiency was made up by the hunting-knives which all the men carried in sheaths attached to their hunting-shirts.

What does the setting in this excerpt reveal about the culture of its people?

the beauty of frontier homes
the importance of manners
a lack of sophistication
a love for family traditions
