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 Pioneersman" was published by the fictitious E.H. Nelson & Co. and is presented in a two-column format. The cover of this issue features a detailed illustration of a cabin in the woods as well as a small poem. "The Treasure of Oval Mountain" is the story of two boys exploring a cave system in Oval Mountain where they discover a treasure store. In their excitement the two lose their way and are forced to spend the night in the cave. The story ends there, to be continued in a later issue. "Ten Nights in a Hunter's Camp" is a section that appears in other "Pioneersman" issues. This installment by Burt Green (sometimes referred to as Birt) is an account of a man canoeing to town in order to trade his furs. Along the way he is swept up in a high current and must abandon his canoe to avoid a waterfall. "A Tame Fox" is a story submitted by Frank Southerly about meeting a villager who had brought home a tame fox from a nearby river. "Defeated" is the story of two boys, Frank and Mark, and their conflict with their rival whom they call the Big I. The issue appears to be unfinished as there are blank column sections and a heading for a "Great Cities of The World" section with no content.
