The New Pioneers is a work-in-progress by writer/historian Eric John Abrahamson, Ph.D. My interest in the topic goes back nearly ten years to when my wife and I and our two sons moved to the Black Hills of South Dakota and I began to serve clients all over North America from the relatively remote community of Rapid City. In 2007 I began interviews and data collection for this project.  To contact me directly regarding speaking engagements or interviews, send an email to: eric@vantagepointhistory.com.
