TO THE READER

What this book contains was learned by the writer in the course of two visits with Mr. Higgins in the Minnesota woods–one in the lumber-camps and lumber-towns at midwinter, and again at the time of the drive. Upon both occasions Mr. Higgins was accompanied by his devoted and admirable friend, the Rev. Thomas D. Whittles, to whose suggestions and leading he responded with many a tale of his experiences, some of which are here related. Mr. Whittles was at the same time good enough to permit the writer to draw whatever information might seem necessary from a more extended description of Mr. Higgins’s work, called The Lumber-jack’s Sky Pilot, which he had written.
