Summary "The Squirrel Hunters of Ohio; or, Glimpses of Pioneer Life" by N.E. Jones is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work reflects on the lives and experiences of early pioneers in Ohio, focusing particularly on their early settlement, struggles, and the development of communities in the Northwest Territory during and after the American Revolution. The book provides insight into the culture, challenges, and triumphs of the inhabitants who became known as the "Squirrel Hunters." At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage for the exploration of pioneer life following the American Revolution. It discusses the initial hesitance of settlers due to Native American conflicts but highlights the rise in immigration after peace was established. The opening chapters paint a vivid picture of the settlers’ connections with nature, their perseverance, and their communal spirit in building homes and communities from the wilderness. From hunting for sustenance during Christmas festivities to the construction of log cabins, the beginning of the book captures the spirit of adventure and hardship faced by these early Americans, emphasizing their values and the significance of their contributions to Ohio's development.
