When Hannah Breece came to Alaska in 1904, it was a remote, lawless wilderness of gold 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. Her eyewitness account of America's last frontier 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 settlers' behavior toward native communities at the turn of the twentieth century.
