1850 – 1910
Pioneer settlers were individuals and families who moved westward across the United States in search of new opportunities. They traveled in covered wagons and settled in new territories, building homes, farms, and communities from scratch. Life was tough, with challenges like harsh weather, limited supplies, and conflicts with Native Americans. You can find more books about westward expansion here.
