A search for a simpler, more rewarding lifestyle brings Trent Jones
and his wife Olga to the ghost town of Terlingua, Texas so that
Trent can accept the unusual job of teacher/principal/janitor of a
one-room schoolhouse. So what if the princely sum of half his
current salary would make it impossible for them to afford a
telephone, or that they would have to haul drinking water from five
miles away. It was a challenge whose rewards far outweighed any
inconvenience. The colorful residents, the school children, the
beauty of the vast and awsome Trans-Pecos all play their part in
making this an unforgettable experience and inspirational triumph.
Terlingua Teacher gives us a unique definition of what make a
person a "success" and offers an insider's look at our hard-working
educators and the sacrifices they often make. In its third printing
since original publication in 1978. A afterword has been added to
bring the reader up to date on the Jonses and the Terlingua School.
