Source	Fighting Caravans
Notes	"'What's a pioneer?' asked May [10] fascinated. 'Well, I reckon a pioneer is what paw will be. He'll go ahead, out there where there's nobody. An' more men like him will come. They'll fight the Injuns an' bears and' buffaloes, cut down trees, build log cabins, plow an' plant an' cap. Make the land so more people will come. That's a pioneer.' 'I like a pioneer...Clint [12], will you be one?' 'Reckon I'm slated fro a pioneer, sure enough. I'd like to raise horses.' 'Clint, I'll grow up an' be a pioneer's wife,' burst out May. 'Ah-huh, You will if you're worth your salt.' May slipped a not altogether timid hand under Clint's arm, and she peeped roguishly up form under her sun bonnet. ' Would you have me, Clint?' 'What for?' 'For your pioneer wife? Course, when I grow up. It won't be long now, I'm ten years old...Would you?' 'Reckon I would-come to think of it.' 'But you'd be glad to?' 'Sure,' replied Clint, hastily. 'Wed have to fall in love, first, wouldn't we?' mused May, with a dreamy smile. 'Well, it'd be more proper, but pioneers can't wait for everythin.' 'Then Clint-I promise,' said May, very solemnly. 'All right May. I do, too.' And so these children rode on the driver seat of the prairie schooner, across the grassy plain, gazing with the hopeful eyes of youth over the purple calling horizon, in their innocence and romance true to the great movement of which they were a part."
