Pioneers |
| Pioneers were a
special breed of people who could built, hunt, plant crops and gather food. The
first settlers had to make do with what was available at the site where they chose to
live; to remove the forests, kill the wild animals and transform this wilderness, was the
task set before them. The work was slow, tedious, constant and hard, with inadequate
shelter and the ever present threat of Indian attack. The life expectancy of pioneer
men, women and children ranged between 30 and 40 years. Discover how early settlers
survived despite very harsh living conditions. Return
