Pioneer Life is a mostly autobiographical narrative of the life of
Philip Tome, an early Pennsylvania pioneer, adventurer, and hunter
who served as an interpreter for two of the Seneca Nation's most
important chiefs, Cornplanter and Governor Blacksnake, for over a
decade. Tome was born in 1782 near present-day Harrisburg and lived
on the upper Susquehanna for much of his life. He tells colorful
(and mostly true) tales about his hunting exploits in the
Pennsylvania wilderness as he tracked elk, wolves, bears, panthers,
and foxes through the state's north-central mountains, tackling
large and difficult animals that earned him wide renown among his
contemporaries. His tales contain suspenseful chase scenes,
accidents, and hair's-breadth escapes, inviting the reader to see a
Pennsylvania still wild through the eyes of "one who, in all the
scenes of border life was never conquered by man or animal." The
book, which was originally published in 1854, has since been
reprinted several times, and includes a preface from folklorist
Henry Shoemaker in this edition.
