SYNOPSIS: 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 bravely independent mind. Her eyewitness account is more than an adventure story--it provides a unique glimpse of white settlers' behavior toward native communities at the turn of the twentieth century. Hannah Breece's great-niece Jane Jacobs, author of The Death and Life of Great American Cities and one of Canada's most distinguished writers and thinkers, faithfully retraces her great-aunt's footsteps in Alaska and the Yukon, deftly filling in narrative gaps and adding historical context to let Breece's memoir speak in its own clear voice. What emerges is a transgenerational collaboration that is also a riveting act of literary recovery and an important work of women's history. Jane Jacobs is the author of five critically acclaimed and influential books, including The Death and Life of Great American Cities, The Economy of Cities, Cities and the Wealth of Nations, and the best-selling Systems of Survival. She lives in Toronto and was recently made an Officer of the Order of Canada. Size: Elephant Folio - over 15" - 23" tall. N° de réf. du vendeur 003363
