This book was originally published as ‘The Sky Pilot’ in 1899. This is the nickname given to the young missionary who ventures to Swan Creek in the rugged foothills region of Western Alberta. It is his first assignment as a pioneer preacher and the rough, self reliant cowboys of the district are none too sure that they like the idea of him imposing his religion on them. But his impact is far different than any of them could have expected. Ralph Connor brings to life a collection of unforgettable characters from his own experiences on Canada’s western frontier. In this edition Michael Phillips has updated some of the language for today’s reading public.
