When Abbie Morgan arrived with her husband Ed in the Alaskan
village of Kulukak in 1931 to teach school, many of the Eskimos had
never before seen a white woman. Kulukak could be reached by boat
when the approach was not frozen over and by dogsled when ice made
travel by boat impossible.
Arctic Schoolteacher is the story of Abbie's Alaskan experience,
from the detailed planning necessary for taking a year's worth of
provisions to an isolated village to her departure from Alaska in
1933. In colorful, descriptive prose, she tells of the difficulty
of travel and communication in the Far North, the magnificent
physical environment, and the children to whom she devoted her
time.
