The Four Corners is a region of the United States consisting of the southwestern corner of Colorado, southeastern corner of Utah, northeastern corner of Arizona, northwestern corner of New Mexico. The Four Corners area is named after the quadripoint at the intersection of 37° north latitude with 109° 03' west longitude, where the boundaries of the four states meet, are marked by the Four Corners Monument, it is the only location in the United States. Most of the Four Corners region belongs to semi-autonomous Native American nations, the largest of, the Navajo Nation, followed by Hopi and Zuni tribal reserves and nations; the Four Corners region is part of a larger region known as the Colorado Plateau and is rural and arid.

The United States acquired the four corners region from Mexico after the end of the Mexican–American War in 1848. In 1863 Congress created the Arizona Territory from the western part of New Mexico Territory; the boundary was defined as a line running due south from the southwest corner of Colorado Territory, created in 1861. This was an unusual act of Congress, which always defined the boundaries of new territories as lines of latitude or longitude, or following rivers. By defining one boundary as starting at the corner of another, Congress ensured the eventual creation of four states meeting at a point, regardless of the inevitable errors of boundary surveying; the area was first surveyed by the U. S. Government in 1868 as part of an effort to make Colorado Territory into a state, the first of the Four Corners states formed; the first marker was placed at the spot in 1912. The first Navajo tribal government was established in 1923 to regulate an increasing number of oil exploration activities on Navajo land.

Jack Frost is a personification of frost, snow, sleet and freezing cold. He is a variant of Old Man Winter, held responsible for frosty weather, nipping the fingers and toes in such weather, coloring the foliage in autumn, leaving fern-like patterns on cold windows in winter. Starting in late 19th century literature, more developed characterizations of Jack Frost depict him as a sprite-like character, sometimes appearing as a sinister mischief-maker or as a hero. Jack Frost is traditionally said to leave the frosty, fern-like patterns on windows on cold winter mornings and nipping the extremities in cold weather. Over time, window frost has become far less prevalent in the modern world due to the advance of double-glazing, but Jack Frost remains a well-known figure in popular culture, he is sometimes described or depicted with paint brush and bucket coloring the autumnal foliage red, yellow and orange. Sometimes he is portrayed as a dangerous giant:The Hindus derive the name of Hindu Kush from the tradition that a giant used to lie there in wait to kill all the Hindus who passed that way.

This giant was the same whom we, in the Arctic Regions, used to call “Old Zero,” better known in England as “Jack Frost.” The horrors of the snow-covered wastes gave rise to the tradition." He may originate from Anglo-Saxon and Norse winter customs and has an entire chapter named after him in Kalevala, the Finnish national epic compiled from their ancient oral tradition. In Russia however, he has taken on a different form as Grandfather Frost, in Germany there is instead a different entity altogether known as Mrs. Holle. There are various other mythological beings who take on a similar role yet have a unique folklore to them. Jack Frost is mentioned in many movies. For example, in the wintertime song "The Christmas Song", he has been presented as a hero in others.

In Charles Sangster's "Little Jack Frost", published in The Aldine, Jack Frost is a playful being who runs around playing pranks and'nose-biting', coating places with snow before being chased off by Dame Nature for spring. In L. Frank Baum's The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, Jack Frost is the son of the otherwise unnamed Frost King, he takes pleasure in nipping "scores of noses and ears and toes", but Santa Claus, who likes Jack though he mistrusts him, asks him to spare the children. Jack says if he can resist the temptation; the same Jack appears in "The Runaway Shadows", a short story by Baum. In this story, he has the power to freeze shadows, separating them from their owners, making them their own living entities.
