Kentucky pioneers.

This film shows representative aspects of the early pioneering movement into the Kentucky territory. This is the life of our country in the 1780's, picturing travel along the Wilderness Road, the role of the frontier forts, and the settlers' establishment of new homes. Weaving, soap-making, moccasin, candle molding, carpentry, cabin construction, schooling and square dancing are among the activities of the time. "Fine picture showing work of one group of people of Kentucky. A bit artificial, but increases teaching and learning possibilities. Stiffness and unnaturalness of characters when they speak is only weakness." Collaborator. "A much needed film on pioneer life and the westward movement in the 1780's. Authentic reproduction of frontier life. Well done. Should be especially useful in history at the elementary and junior high school levels." Louise Condit
