Homesteaders: The period you are really interested in seems to be after the Homestead Act, during the Western Native American (Indian) Wars, up to the Civil War. You have a lot of reading to do so good luck.
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homesteader
“The Homestead Act of 1862 was a United States federal law that gave one quarter of a section of a township (160 acres, or about 65 hectares) of undeveloped land in the American West to any family head or person who was at least 21 years of age, provided he lived on it for five years and built a house of a minimum of 12 by 14 feet, or allowed the family head to buy it for $1.25 per acre ($308.88/km²) after six months. To avoid penalizing men who were serving in the army, the length of military service was deducted from the required five year residence period for veterans.
The act was signed into law by President Lincoln on May 20, 1862.”
“In Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado, homesteading cut into the access of the large ranches to water. In response, ranchers (themselves or their cowboys) homesteaded prime spots to reserve water access. At times, tensions escalated into violence, conflicts called range wars, for example, the Johnson County War in Wyoming.”
Read the rest of the article for more information.
The area involved was from the Great Plans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Plains) to the West where Mexcio still controlled Califorina.
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontier_Thesis
“The Frontier Thesis or Turner Thesis is the conclusion of Frederick Jackson Turner that the wellsprings of American exceptionalism and vitality have always been the American frontier.”
The term “Sod Busters” came from this era. Wood was scarce on the Great planes so many of the settleres cut blocks of sod and used that to build their houses with. They could even graze their animals on their roof.
The early Westerns took place during this time period, as did the start of the Western Indian Wars.
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Plains_Wars
“The Plains Wars (1840s - 1880s)
The Plains Wars refers to a series of wars engaged by European settlers in America and The American Indians that were fought on the Great Plains.”
NOTE: This is the entire article though.
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War
“The American Civil War (1861–1865)” was during the time peroid in question.
Kansas-Nebraska Act was signed in May 30, 1854 and it prevented slavery from coming to most of the West. Look at the period map on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas-Nebraska_Act
The article continues:
“The act divided the region into the Kansas Territory (south of the 40th parallel) and the Nebraska Territory (north of the 40th parallel). The most controversial provision was the stipulation that each territory would separately decide whether to allow slavery within its borders. This provision repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had prohibited slavery in any new states to be created north of latitude 36°30' since Kansas and Nebraska would be north of that line and could now choose to allow slavery.”
The PBS series Frontier House (http://www.pbs.org/wnet/frontierhouse/families/whoswho.html) took 20 centruy Americans and put them back into this time, to see how they would do.

Use A LOT of lubrication. Maybe try relaxing more, you could be too tense, do a lot of foreplay before having sex so that you are relaxed. Get a dildo and try stretching it out a little so it doesn't hurt as bad the first time with him. Go to the drs. if nothing else helps.
