'The Pioneers; a Tale of the Western Wilderness' is an American settlers-era novel, where we are introduced to a man central to the book named Reuben Guff. He was a man who had seen a great deal of life in his day, although at the time he was introduced to public notice he had not lived more than six-and-thirty summers. He was a bronzed, stalwart Canadian. His father had been Scotch, his mother of French extraction; and Reuben possessed the dogged resolution of the Scot with the vivacity of the Frenchman. In regard to his tastes and occupation we shall let him speak for himself.
