Answer

A "frontiersman" (frontiersMEN means more than 1 single frontiersMAN) was a pioneer from early America.  They lived on the "frontier" of the wilderness.  
HOWEVER--the WAY it is being used in the writing above, means that person was a "pioneer", the front runner, one of the starters, or a person who was there from the beginning.
