Summary "The Pioneer Boys of the Missouri; or, In the Country of the Sioux" by Harrison Adams is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows young cousins Dick and Roger Armstrong, who are determined to continue their fathers' pioneering legacy as they embark on an adventurous journey along the Missouri River. Their quest is driven by the need to secure their family’s home and land, at risk of falling into the hands of a cunning French trader. The opening of the novel introduces Dick and Roger as they enjoy a fishing trip on the Missouri River, showcasing their boyish camaraderie and skills. The narrative quickly shifts to reveal the broader stakes of their adventure, as their families face uncertainty over land ownership due to a potential flaw in their property title. The boys, having learned about the perilous circumstances surrounding their homestead, decide to pursue a man named Jasper Williams, who holds the key to securing their family's future. This decision sets the stage for their journey into the unknown, filled with the promise of discovery and the threat of dangers from both nature and hostile forces.
