Tisha's House and the Fortymile Country

Meer over het boek

Photographs and paintings illustrate a brief tour of the remote Alaskan area where Anne Hobbs Purdy - Tisha to the native children, because they could not say teacher - taught for the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the early part of the 20th century. The author's husband was Tisha's grandson and he finally convinced her in 2000 to visit the place he'd enjoyed so much as a child.
