Three Young Pioneers / A Story of the Early Settlement of Our Country

Three young settlers leave on a voyage across the Atlantic and adapt to life in a frontier colony, finding guardianship aboard ship and later establishing a trading post upriver. They learn survival skills, cooperate with local Indigenous people and a young Indigenous boy to master language and trade, and face competition and greed that fuel violent tensions between settlers and a nearby tribe. Episodes follow journeys and the building of fortified log houses, episodes of capture and escape, involvement in a colonial military campaign, and quieter scenes of family duties, friendships, and a seasonal celebration at the trading post.
