Sherwonit has proven his exciting adventure-writing ability most recently in Alaska's Accessible Wilderness (Alaska Northwest, 1996). Here, he demonstrates his perspicacious appreciation of other writers' craft in a riveting anthology that highlights the state's challenging mountain peaks. Through firsthand accounts of mountain experiences the enticement of Alaska's peaks becomes tangible to the reader. Each piece effectively captures the intensity of the undertaking and the emotions and challenges relating to a climb. Sherwonit conveniently divides the material into four geographical areas that allow for a greater focus and comparison of approaches and techniques. He has put together a fine compendium of mountain literature highlights.?Jo-Anne MaryCopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

A Schoolteacher in Old Alaska: The Story of Hannah Breece
A Schoolteacher in Old Alaska: The Story of Hannah Breece
Click Here For More Detail
In 1904, Hannah Breece (1859-1940), an unmarried teacher, was selected by the Interior Department to run an Alaskan school located in the Kodiak Archipelago. For the next 14 years, Breece worked in a variety of remote settlements on the Alaskan frontier, where she taught native children (Aleuts, Kenais, Athabaskans, Eskimos) as well as some remaining Russian children (Russia owned Alaska prior to 1867). Jacobs, a writer (The Death and Life of American Cities) and Breece's grandniece, has skillfully edited her relative's memoir, which she shaped into a dramatic account after visiting the areas where Breece taught. Working in poor communities, Breece often provided her students with food in addition to innovative lessons in elementary-school subjects. Her adventures included dangerous encounters with forest fires and wild dogs. Although she typically expressed a condescending attitude toward native Alaskans and imposed her prohibitionist views on others, Breece's commitment to her students was sincere and enduring. Photos.

--This text refers to the
Hardcover
edition.
Hannah Breece was an extraordinary woman who traveled to Alaska when she was 45 years old and taught Aleuts, Kenais, Athabaskans, and Eskimos from 1904 to 1918. While other women planned their retirement, Breece scaled cliffs, outran forest fires, and traveled in kayaks. Her long skirts and petticoats never slowed her down. Breece's story depicts the early days in Alaska, when travel was difficult to perilous. She was radical in her teaching, believing education should be enjoyable and avoiding the strict discipline her colleagues employed. Her story reflects on other Alaskan pioneers, namely, Sheldon Jackson and Dr. Henry O. Schlaben. The editor, Breece's niece, visited where Breece taught and describes what the places look like today. Numerous photographs dot the volume, and the book is well indexed, with numerous notes. A welcome addition to the literature on early Alaskan teachers. Recommended for libraries with Alaskan or Pacific Northwest history collections.?Katherine Ellerton, Missouri Research & Education Network, ColumbiaCopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
