The Frontier. Pioneers. Manifest Destiny. These terms have romanticized frontier life as being adventurous and the settlers as daring and brave. And, though they were brave, the frontier life was not romantic; instead, it was extremely challenging, grueling, and dangerous. “Pioneer Ohio” refers to the time period following the War of 1812 and ending about mid-century. During this time, people flooded into the state and settled in new areas.
