ALTHOUGH IT has the feel of a Western, Hamner said he sees it as a frontier drama. He said, "The Western traditionally has been a struggle between good and bad. Here; our struggle is between mostly good people trying to survive and find a life of their own." The series is based on "The Young Pioneers" books by Rose Wilder Lane. She was the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, who wrote the "Little house on the Prairie" books on which the NBC series is based. "Young Pioneers" was originally developed for TV by Blanche Ilanalis, who also adapted "Little House."

"I hope to design each episode like a single chapter," he said. "It would be like a novel with people threaded throughout the stories, appearing and disappearing as they do in life." "I THINK the audience is ready for romantic relationships. It's about two young, attractive people in love with each other almost an idyllic kind of love.
