When Hannah Breece came to Alaska in 1904, it was a remote lawless wilderness of prospectors, murderous bootleggers, tribal chiefs, and Russian priests.She spent fourteen years educating Athabascans, Aleuts, Inuits, and Russians with the stubborn generosity of a born teacher and the clarity of an original and independent mind.Jane Jacobs, Hannah's great-niece, here offers an historical context to Breece's remarkable eyewitness account, filling in the narrative gaps, but always allowing the original words to ring clearly.It is more than an adventure story:it is a powerful work of women's history that provides important-and, at times, unsettling-insights into the unexamined assumptions and attitudes that governed white settler's behavior toward native communities at the turn of the century.
"An unforgettable...story of a remarkable woman who lived a heroic life."-The New York Times
