In the summer of 1994, Ms. Jacobs traveled to Alaska to do the research necessary to complete her great aunt's book. In 1904, Hannah Breece set off for Alaska, where she was sent by the American government to teach Aleuts, Dina'ina, Athabascans, and people of mixed-European and Native blood. She remained in Alaska until 1918 and in this book tells her story. Diary-like in its mingling of domestic matters, work, public events and chance encounters, Hannah Breece's narrative is spiced with litany of adventures, for she was a women who went anywhere and stood up to anybody.".
