The Parish of the Pines is a historical novel by Thomas Davis Whittles, first published in 1912. The book tells the story of Frank Higgins, a young man who becomes a lumberjack's sky pilot in the remote forests of northern Michigan in the late 19th century. As a sky pilot, Higgins ministers to the spiritual needs of the rough and rowdy lumberjacks who work in the dangerous and physically demanding logging industry.The novel explores the challenges and dangers faced by Higgins as he tries to bring a message of hope and redemption to the hard-drinking, hard-living men of the logging camps. Along the way, he must confront his own doubts and fears, as well as the hostility of some of the more skeptical lumberjacks.The Parish of the Pines is a vivid and engaging portrait of a bygone era, when the vast forests of the American Midwest were being rapidly depleted by the voracious demands of the lumber industry. Through the character of Frank Higgins, Whittles offers a compelling glimpse into the lives and struggles of the men who worked in this perilous and often brutal occupation, as well as the role that religion and spirituality played in their daily lives.Overall, The Parish of the Pines is a powerful and evocative work of historical fiction that offers a fascinating glimpse into a little-known chapter of American history.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
