Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A homesteader is a person who seeks to claim land by improving it through agriculture. In media, homesteaders are typically portrayed as resilient and rough types, as they need to be to develop a farm from just a plot of land and to deal with the hardships that come with trying to live the unglamourous life of a rural farmer. This trope came into its own in America with the Homestead Act of 1862, which offered 160 acres of public land "free" if a homesteader filed a claim and succeeded in making a viable farm of the land. Many of those eligible took up the call and moved from the populous cities of the original settlements along the Eastern seaboard for the far less populous and undeveloped (at least by settler hands) lands further west. In fiction, the Determined Homesteader is determined to have a place that he owns in his own right, come hell or high water. And generally, every horrible thing that could happen to a piece of land will during the course of the story. Drought, flooding, fire, locusts, hostile natives, land barons who want all the acreage in the valley, and anything else related to prairie living the writer can throw at the homesteader will not be neglected. But somehow, the Determined Homesteader will hold on. Even if a good-faith offer to buy the land at a fair price comes up, he won't sell, no sir. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In terms of family, a male homesteader might have an equally strong-willed wife. She'll be responsible for tending to the fields, cabin, and any children they have. The two of them may have several children — from a practical perspective, kids provided a future for the homestead (and when old enough could homestead adjacent territory to add to the family farm), were a handy source of free labor, and—let's face it—there wasn't much else to do on long winter nights. If they don't have kids of their own, they might take in children of relatives or neighbors. Commonly found in Westerns. Some commonly related narrative and setting tropes for the Determined Homesteader are Injun Country, Quest to the West, and Settling the Frontier. Compare and contrast Rancher and The Pioneer. |

Sunless Skies: The Reach has numerous Homesteads floating about in the High Wilderness, each a house with its own patch of drifting asteroid land to grow crops on, bizarre as they may be. They're often troubled by windstorms, pirates, sky-beasts, and strange blights native to the sky, but they do what they can to feed themselves and the rest of the Reach, if not London as a whole if the Stovepipes are dominant. | |

The War of the Masters: Much of the cultural conflict between Earth and the border colonies derives from the fact that the borderers are this (especially the Moabites, despite inhabiting one of the least hospitable Class M worlds in the known galaxy), whereas many Earthlings appear to have little comprehension of why the colonists don't just move if their lives are so harsh. The Moabites could have even moved within their own star system to New Saigon, a more Earthlike moon of a gas giant that thawed from an ice age a couple hundred years after their arrival, but largely refused. | |

The Discworld as envisaged by A.A. Pessimal provides a different example. Building on scattered hints of its existence in canon, the Discworld gets its South Africa, populated by hardy Boers and other emigrants from the Central Continent, who Trekked into the interior of a new continent to make homes there. Andreas Smith-Rhodes and his wife Agnetha Smith-Rhodes are typical examples of frontier homesteaders, and between them have five children, five sons and daughters-in-law, and a large number of grandchildren. Two of the daughters were determined to get the hell out and ended up in Ankh-Morpork. One stayed; the other found herself returning to Rimwards Howondaland to marry a landowner and work a bit of land far away from the frontier. A son with no great ambition to leave also, despite himself, emigrated to Ankh-Morpork. A young woman was involved in this. | |

Harbormen in Neverwinter Nights 2 are this in spades. No matter how many times West Harbor gets overrun by Githyanki or wrecked by the King of Shadows' minions, they just rebuild (in a swamp!) and dig in deeper. They even have a reputation in-universe for being tenacious and stubborn. It's a well-earned reputation. In the game's prologue, the village avoids the Doomed Hometown trope when they actually manage to repel a Githyanki invasion (albeit barely). In Storm of Zehir, West Harbor is besieged by a pair of black dragons. Clearly the town is the Butt-Monkey of the Sword Coast. |

Subverted in one short story, where the wife is so clearly unsuited for the pioneering life (a simple river crossing takes hours because of all the junk she refuses to throw out, and that's before she learns of the natives in the area) that she convinces her husband to turn back. |

In Tachyon: The Fringe, the Bora are a group of Asteroid Miners whose ancestors left the Solar System in protest using a one-way mega-gate. Centuries later, they are rediscovered by the expanding humanity, and their area of space is found to be extremely wealthy in minerals. The Galactic Spanning Corporation, seeking to claim the area, engage in a Loophole Abuse, claiming that the original Bora settlers did not officially file a claim to their area of space with the Sol government (of course, this seems to imply that the Sol government lays claim to the whole galaxy). Having lived and toiled there for generations, the Bora aren't about to be forced out by a piece of paper. So, GalSpan brings its corporate fleet and mercenaries to forcibly take Bora space. Luckily for the Bora, their miners prove to be pretty good pilots and manage to go toe-to-toe with the largest Mega-Corp in existence. It doesn't help that GalSpan isn't above using illegal or unethical tactics from achieving their goal, such as blowing up hospitals, destroying civilian shipyards, attacking refugee transports, or sabotaging Bora TCG gates. | |

RWBY: Fairy Tales of Remnant: In The Man Who Stared at the Sun, the farmer's wife only finds out about the contest when the farmer doesn't come home for dinner and the sun doesn't set. After failing to convince him to come home, she leaves and the sun tries to get the farmer to look away by observing how upset she is. However, the wife takes that as a challenge, brings food to the farmer, and then takes over running the farm. Thanks to her work and the help of the children, the farm thrives, which allows the farmer to concentrate solely on the sun. | |

Brett McBain from Once Upon a Time in the West, who has a very specific dream for his homestead- he's on land that the railroad will have to pass through, and plans to build and own a station for it which a town will eventually grow up around. This doesn't end well for him, as he and his children are brutally massacred by others who want the land for the same reason. His wife-to-be, Jill McBain, survives because she is still en route by train when the massacre happens; she arrives at what should be her wedding to find that she's now a widow. | |

Star Wars: Kenobi, as a Space Western, portrays homesteaders engaging in moisture farming on Tatooine. In particular, Dannar Calwell took his centrally located plot of land, Dannar's Claim, and turned it into the only shop among the farms, providing goods and services to his neighbors. Following Dannar's death at the hands of Sand People, his widow Annileen continues to run the store and raise their two teenage children, Kallie and Jabe. Kallie inherited her mother's love of animals and has found a niche running the store's livery, while Jabe chafes at the life of a shopkeeper and runs off with Orrin Gault's kids any chance he can get. | |

An episode of Sliders played with this; a goon in the employ of a businessman from back East is trying to force out the local farmers. By the end of the episode, the goon's been fired for violating his orders, the businessman is shown to be level-headed and reasonable, and the settlers are preparing to move on to California. They had no problem with selling, they just refused to be forced out. | |

In Hope for the Heartless, the so-called brush farmers of Prydain are portrayed this way: they make their farms in the country's famously dangerous wilderness and visit civilization only twice or thrice a year. They work with a zest and a zeal not seen in industrial farmers who live close to the cities, and they value their independence much. The brush farmers are known as honest people for readily aiding a neighbor in their time of need, as well as modest and brave. | |

Pa Ingalls of the Little House on the Prairie series. Although in real life he was somewhat less determined, and the family did move back East for a while in between homesteads. | |

Kidane in Timbuktu is a Determined Nomad, refusing to leave the river and grasslands around Timbuktu even after a brutal jihadist group takes over in the area. It turns out to be a big mistake. | |

Rimworld: Only one of the default starting scenarios plays the trope completely straight, but the early game does a pretty good job of simulating the process of setting up a homestead from scratch in the middle of the wilderness. Especially the "every horrible thing that could happen to a piece of land will during the course of the story" part on the higher difficulty settings. | |

In Ghost Rock, Weng and his family are the only local farmers to stand up to Pickett and his gang and refuse to be bought or driven off their land. | |

The Trail to Oregon!: Parodied. While determined to make it to Oregon, Father is portrayed as a Bumbling Dad who treats the journey like a vacation, sets his own farm on fire by accident, gets swindled into buying a defective wagon and deformed ox, and nearly gets the family and himself killed multiple times. It gets to the point where Mother decides to leave him, causing him to take a level in badass and help rescue their daughter. note Due to the Audience Participation element of the show, he gets renamed in each performance. The version on Youtube named him "Jack Bauer". Mother is perhaps the only one who plays their role mostly straight, epitomized by her solo song "When The World's At Stake". However, she is stuck in a Foolish Husband, Responsible Wife dynamic, making her more of a Deadpan Snarker than the trope usually calls for. In "Speendrun" she goes full-on Mama Bear to catch up to the bandits who kidnapped her daughter. note Due to the Audience Participation element of the show, she gets renamed in each performance. The version on Youtube named her "Slippery When Wet". While Son, a 7-year-old boy, is certainly determined, he's also The Ditz, as he tends to stick inappropriate things in his mouth and throw vital supplies off the back of the wagon when he's bored. Daughter, meanwhile, is a Bratty Teenage Daughter and less than enthused about the trek, wanting to run off with the first guy who woos her. note The show's Audience Participation element meant that the characters got new names each performance, just like The Oregon Trail game. The Youtube version named them Craphole and Mouthface. |

Cimarron: Sabra Cravat. She settles in Oklahoma with her husband during the land rush and toughs out many years on the frontier, then takes over the family newspaper business when her husband leaves her due to wanderlust. She ends up becoming an important frontier figure in her own right | |

Gravity Falls: Parodied in "The Time Traveller's Pig". When Dipper and Mabel accidentally travel back to the 1800s, they end up in a homesteader's wagon, where the father assumes his wife Fertilia suddenly had two more children. They already have six kids. Fertilia just takes it in stride. | |
