Pioneers

Pioneer life in America. The story of the pioneers tells of the lives of thousands of ordinary people who pushed the frontier of the United States westward from the Appalachian Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. It is the tale of the many hardships and dangers and the isolation the settlers faced as they struggled to build new lives away from the civilization they had known in the East. It is also the story of a clash of peoples, as the pioneers sought to acquire lands where American Indians lived.
