During Pioneers’ times, life was not easy. The men worked hard at removing the tall trees

gardens and tended to them all summer long to make sure they would have fresh food to put
on the table. They washed dirty clothes by hand using square soap they made from scratch.
The many children helped a lot with the easier chores. They milked the cows and collected
