Abstract
An issue of the Nelson brothers' periodical that focuses on stories of rugged pioneer life from around their imaginary world, presented in a two-column format. The cover indicates the issue was published by E.H. Nelson & Co. This issue opens with chapter 1 of the story "The Treasure of Oval Mountain" in which the reader is introduced to the characters and to the myths and stories that draw the boys to go looking for treasure. The story ends abruptly, to be continued in subsequent issues. A poem titled "The Brook" by Ida Green follows this story. Ida Green is a fictional poet whose work appears in several issues of The Pioneersman. The biographies section features a biography of Frank Warrington, an explorer from Black Archipelago. Warrington is sailing past Big Continent when he gets swept up in a storm at sea. He happens upon a new island and calls it the Kingdom of Rock Island. After an encounter with Ethan Allen, Warrington and his people must move and settle a new island across the sea from Round Continent. The issue concludes with detailed instructions for hunting crows.
