This work is a cantata for chorus and orchestra, with baritone solo, celebrating the pioneers who settled the American wilderness. In his poem, Green has given us the finer spirit of the ancestors of many native Americans throughout the republic. Charles Vardell has brought his imagination and distinguished skill to the translation of emotions, ideas, and aspirations into music.

Originally published in 1947.
