| Summary | "The Lumberjack Sky Pilot" by Thomas D. Whittles is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the life and struggles of lumberjacks in the forests of Minnesota, particularly highlighting the experiences of Rev. Frank E. Higgins, who serves as a missionary among these isolated workers. This narrative aims to shed light on the conditions these men face, including the temptations they encounter and the lack of spiritual support in their lives. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the rugged world of lumberjacks through a conversation between a traveler and a lumberjack named Jack at a train station. The lumberjack humorously describes the harsh winter they've endured and their desire for meaningful church services. Set against the backdrop of Minnesota's vast forests, the narrative introduces Higgins, the "Sky Pilot," who is deeply committed to reaching the hearts of these men. The opening lays the groundwork for revealing the challenges and eventual spiritual awakenings of the lumberjacks as Higgins works to minister to their needs, highlighting both the camaraderie and the darker aspects of their lifestyle.
