![]() ![]() Our speaker (in case we couldn't tell from his constant exclamation of "Pioneers! O Pioneers!") just can't get enough of these explorer-types. They clasp hands and share the same "continental blood." Basically, no matter where you're from, if you're a pioneer, you're a-okay in his book. He tells us that all these varied men are comrades. Our speaker speaks of men from a few different states, describing the geography from which they come. They chop down trees, dig mines, all kinds of stuff. They flow over the terrain, grappling and conquering. The pioneers are described like an army detachment. He tells us we must leave the past behind and set out upon the world. Then he tells this new race of pioneers (us included) to pick up where others (across the Atlantic) left off. Plus, he urges that pioneers must always keep moving, never resting too long in one place. He describes the young pioneers and mentions there is a ton of work and danger ahead. He seems to include us, the readers, among the pioneers he is addressing. Hey! Pioneers! Listen up, for Pete's sake. ![]()
