A Massachusetts minister named Manasseh Cutler was instrumental in opening this vast territory to veterans of the Revolutionary War and their families for settlement. The Pioneers is a uniquely American story of people whose ambition and courage led them to remarkable accomplishments. The Pioneers is a uniquely American story of people whose ambition and courage led them to remarkable accomplishments."
