Complete and unabridged, with 57 full-page plates by Frederic Remington, Charles Marion Russell and Albert Bierstadt. 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. Fifty-seven paintings by Frederic Remington and Charles Marion Russell carry the mounted patrols, mule packs and roping that fill the foothill country Connor knew firsthand.
