{"product_id":"a-schoolteacher-in-old-alaska-the-story-of-hannah-breece","title":"A Schoolteacher in Old Alaska: The Story of Hannah Breece","description":"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.\n\n\"An unforgettable...story of a remarkable woman who lived a heroic life.\"--The New York Times\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679776338\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0679776338.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Breece, Hannah\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
