THE PIONEERS


:''For the Jamaican band, see The Pioneers (band)''
'The Pioneers: The Sources of the Susquehanna; a Descriptive Tale' is one of the Leatherstocking Tales, a series of five novels by American writer James Fenimore Cooper. ''The Pioneers'' was first of these books to be published (1823), but the period of time covered by the book (principally 1793) makes it the fourth chronologically. (The others are ''The Deerslayer'', ''The Last of the Mohicans'', ''The Pathfinder'', and ''The Prairie''.)
The story takes place on the rapidly advancing frontier of New York State and features a middle-aged Leatherstocking (Natty Bumppo) and Judge Marmaduke Temple of Templeton, whose life parallels that of the author's father Judge William Cooper of Cooperstown.
