Rendition To Books Tisha: The Wonderful True Love Story of a Young Teacher in the Alaskan Wilderness

Alaska was as remote as the moon, as roistering and lawless as the Gold Rush. And a pretty young schoolteacher from Colorado like Anne Hobbs was even rarer than nuggets."So appealing are the people here, even the villainous ones; so dramatic is the landscape in which they act out their adventure; so pure is the moral conflict that forms the story's backbone, and so honest is its sentimentality - that I managed to suspend all my disbelief as I read it. And it was with pleasure that I raced through this good old-fashioned yarn, hissing the villains, holding my breath at each succeeding catastrophe, and above all adoring 'plain old Anne Hobbs.' as she calls herself, the pretty slip of a nineteen-year-old who in 1927 had the courage not only to brave the Alaska wilderness as a teacher in the tiny gold-mining community called Chicken, but also to face down the community's violent disapproval when she dared to treat the local Indians as human being..."

Judgment Epithetical Books Tisha: The Wonderful True Love Story of a Young Teacher in the Alaskan Wilderness

Adventure writing at its best! A brave young woman travels to a small Alaskan outpost in the early 1900s to serve as a teacher to nine young students. "Tisha" is how the Indian children pronounced the word "teacher," thus the title of the book. I found Tisha (whose real name was Ann) to be admirable on many levels: brave, vivacious, and intelligent. Her big heart compelled her to teach Indians as well as the white folks and this brought her to odds with the school board and the respected members

One of my top shelf favorite books of all time and a true story which takes place in Alaska in the late 1920's! I re-read this book every few years and never grow tired of it. It has all the elements to keep the reader hooked: adventure, living with hardship through a frigid Alaska winter, dogsled races, a student who perseveres despite a reading handicap, the heroic teacher who loves her students and despite all, bravely stands up to a community with a rigid backwards way of thinking (racism.)

This is my all time favorite book. I read it at least once a year if not more. A most incredible story.

I have mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand, it is the true story of an inspiring woman with an enormous heart and a lot of courage. Also, the book really drags you into early-century Alaska, with all the grit that this entails. I've certainly learned a lot about the murderous winters up there, plus what people had to do in order to get through them, and I have a new-found respect for all the courageous pioneers who explored that land and settled in it. The book also paints an

I read this book years ago and it is still one of the first books that I recommend when someone says, "what is a good book that I could read". It is a true story and a fun read that describes the world of Alaska and inspires you with its good example of being true to yourself.

This story seemed as though it was going nowhere at every turn, and then new ground was broken and it was exciting again. An amazing true story that takes you into the wilderness of Alaska in 1920s, this book helps one understand race relationships on the frontier.

This book was wonderful, and even better that it is a true story! I loved learning about the settlement of early Alaska and how education worked in the 1920's. Both were quite rough. Thankfully racism isn't as bad now as it was then, but biases are just as present. The ending kept me gripped and heart beating fast! Knowing it was a true story meant that the ending might be the happily ever after. But it didn't disappoint. If you can get your hand on this book, READ IT!
