Goal: ‘What is a pioneer’

Goal: What is a pioneer?

“A pioneer is a person that has chosen or is forced to leave their home. A pioneer leaves their home or cabin in a covered wagon. They didn’t have construction builders, so they would make everything out of nature. They would travel up and down mountains and up and down lakes, rivers, and

streams.”
