Vintage claimed 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
