About this eBook

Author Connor, Ralph, 1860-1937
Title The Sky Pilot: A Tale of the Foothills
Credits Donald Lainson and David Widger
Summary "The Sky Pilot: A Tale of the Foothills" by Ralph Connor is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the Foothill Country, depicting the lives of adventurous men who left comfort behind to pursue worthwhile endeavors, as well as those who seek solace from their past. Central to the narrative is a missionary known as the "Sky Pilot," who arrives in this rugged land to impart faith and help the inhabitants recognize the value of life. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the breathtaking landscapes of the Foothills and the rough, independent spirits who inhabit it. The narrator, a young man seeking adventure, recounts his journey to Swan Creek where he becomes acquainted with the local ranchers and the infamous "Noble Seven," a group of cowboys who embody both camaraderie and reckless living. The arrival of the Sky Pilot stirs mixed feelings among the residents—some welcome him, while others view his intentions as an intrusion upon their freedom and lifestyle. The opening chapters set the stage for a clash between values of rugged self-reliance and the aspirations of a faith-driven life, foreshadowing an exploration of community, redemption, and personal transformation.
