This true story of a 19 year old who moves to Alaska to be a teacher in the 1920s definitely reads like fiction.

There are themes of poverty, racism, and young love; descriptions of the landscape and outdoor adventures actually made snow and cold sound exciting to me, and I hate both those things!

I really liked the story, but felt that it ended abruptly. A longer, more detailed epilogue would have made for a more satisfying read.

Note: There is quite a bit of profanity. ( )

Alaska, 1927. Anne Hobbs has traveled by ornery pony to be a teacher in the Alaskan remote village of Chicken. Tisha is a true story as told to Robert Specht. Barely twenty years old, Anne begins her adventure in Chicken battling sub-zero cold winters and even more frigid prejudiced hearts. The natives of Alaska are considered lesser people even though it is their land. The word siwash is derogatory, both as a noun and a verb. Even the children are not exempt from cruel words and actions of the white community. Anne is not fazed by the immature behavior of the white community and, after developing a fondness for one such "half breed" child named Chuck, insists he attend her school. The taunts and threats now targeting Anne grow louder when she develops an even stronger fondness for a "half breed" adult named Fred. It isn't until Anne and Fred survive a terrible tragedy that the community starts to slowly come around. ( )

Really fascinating account of a young teacher's time teaching in a small Alaskan community during the 1920s. She goes against community for liking a half breed and for adopting Indian kids who lost their mother. Fun read. ( )

Anne Hobbs accepts a job teaching in Alaska in 1927, at the age of 18. This is her story, as told to Robert Specht. The way she and the brave people of Chicken, AK, lived is astounding. They are definitely a tough group of people. One thing that was hard to read was the intense racism against the Native Alaskans and those who were part white, part Native Alaskan. I had to keep reminding myself of the time period to accept what I read. It made me admire Anne even more for sticking to her principles of treating all children and indeed all people as equals. She and her husband eventually adopted 10 Native Alaskan children. It was interesting to read of how day-to-day life was lived in a place that was often 50 degrees below 0. The last pages of the book were particularly exciting and scary. I could hardly put it down. ( )

“Tisha as told by Robert Specht” just didn’t do it for me. I found the narrative and writing style difficult to wade through.

it’s a story of a real person in a real place with great reviews, but I just couldn’t connect with it. There are a lot of people that will defend its merit on goodreads (one of which claims to be a direct descendant), so maybe it’s I situational thing for me and I just couldn’t see it’s value…moving on.

Even though it was barely eight o'clock and the sun had just come up, practically the whole town of Eagle had turned out to see the pack train off.

I guessed I was never so happy in my life as around that time. Everything just seemed the way I'd dreamed it would be – the settlement and all the country around hushed under a thick white blanket, the snow dry enough so you could walk around in moccasins and never get wet. Now I realized what the North was really like. It was made for winter, because winter was when everything went on. You could ski any place you wanted to and get there twice as fast and twice as easily as you could before there was snow. People went out and brought in the trees they'd cut for firewood and left lying until they could use sleds to haul them. The whole country just opened right up. You could hear somebody talking on the trail half a mile away, or dropping a pan on the stove a mile from the settlement. It was so quiet and open and free that it was like being let out of prison. It put everybody in good spirits and they went around looking the way the country did – clean and fresh.
