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.

the beauty of frontier homes

Answer: a lack of sophistication

Explanation:

The way the author depicts the scenario above shows that the people there have a lack of sophistication.

Reasons being:

  • The table was simply a large slab of timber
  • No crockery was used rather horn spoons.
  • People used the knives in their sheaths in lieu of table knives.  

These points are not meant to insult but rather to show that the people here used primitive methods and so could not be said to be sophisticated.
