A young minister with no gift for preaching is sent to the foothills of the Rockies, where the ranchers call him the Sky Pilot and treat him as a joke — until a girl is thrown from a horse. Connor was Charles Gordon, a Presbyterian minister who worked these camps himself; his books sold in the millions and paid for missions, and the men in them talk exactly as he had heard them talk.

A mining town in the Canadian west: an owner, a union organiser, a strike, and a young minister who thinks he can stand between them and is told by both sides to choose. Connor was Charles Gordon, a Presbyterian minister who worked the camps and ranches himself, and who chaired a real conciliation board; the labour dispute here is written by a man who sat in those rooms.

Two boys grow up in the same Ontario town, love the same girl, and meet again in a mining camp in the Rockies where one of them is the only doctor for a hundred miles. Charles Gordon wrote as Ralph Connor and knew the country first-hand: he was a Presbyterian missionary among exactly these camps, and his books sold in millions to readers who had never seen a mountain.
