"The Pioneer Boys of the Ohio; or, Clearing the Wilderness" by St. George Rathborne is a historical fiction work written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the adventures of two young boys, Robert and Alexander Armstrong, who live in the Virginia wilderness during the tumultuous times leading up to the American Revolution. The story captures their struggles and courageous efforts as they hunt for food to support their family, navigate the challenges of pioneer life, and dream of a brighter future as settlers in the Ohio territory. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Robert and his impulsive younger brother, Sandy, as they embark on a hunting expedition to find fresh venison for their family. They face challenges such as harsh winter weather and the need to stay alert for potential dangers, including wolves and Indians. During their adventure, they successfully hunt a deer but soon find themselves caught in a snowstorm that forces them to adapt and camp in the woods. The opening sets a vivid scene of pioneer life, foreshadows the challenges they will face, and establishes the strong bond between the brothers as they rely on their respective strengths, with Robert's caution balancing Sandy's eagerness.
