A new edition of this compelling tale of the Canadian West in the late 19th century—best-selling author Ralph Connor’s classic Sky Pilot edited by Michael Phillips.

Thomas Skyler, young, green, every inch a tenderfoot—sent on his first assignment as a pioneer preacher to the rugged foothill region of Swan Creek. But the rough-and-tumble, hard-drinking cowboys aren’t so sure they like the idea of a preacher in their midst.

Meet Bronco Bill, Hi Kendal, the Duke, the Old Timer, and of course Gwen, and discover why the impact of "the Sky Pilot" was far different than any would have expected.

With their beloved plantation, Greenwood, now a vital link in the Underground Railroad, Richmond and Carolyn Davidson must balance the need for safety with their commitment to helping the many runaways who appear at their door. Compounding their danger, the Davidson’s neighbors, the Beaumonts, do not approve of their decision—and view them with suspicion.

The danger intensifies when the Davidsons’ older son, Seth, becomes engaged to Veronica, the Beaumonts’ beautiful, scheming daughter—against her parents’ wishes. As the two families are swept up in events leading up to the Civil War, they must choose sides—in a conflict that will change their lives forever.
