Description: The Young Pioneers was a trial-run ABC Western television series about young newlyweds who settle in the Dakota Territory during the 1870s. If the first three episodes had received good ratings the series may have found a place on the network's fall lineup. The series was based on the plot of Rose Wilder Lane's 1933 novel Let the Hurricane Roar, which was reissued as Young Pioneers though the main characters names came from her novel Free Land.
