| Notes: | Subtitle: The Story of a Young Teacher in the Alaska Wilderness. Anne Hobbs is a prim and proper 19-year-old schoolteacher who yearns for adventure. She finds this and much more in a town with the unlikely name of Chicken, located deep in the Alaskan interior. It is 1927 and Chicken is a wild mining community flaming with gold fever. Anne quickly makes friends with many of the townspeople, but is soon ostracized when she not only befriends the local Indians but also falls in love with one. COMMENTS — If you like Tisha, you might enjoy Mrs. Mike, by Benedict Freedman, about the experiences of a young Irish girl who moves to the Canadian wilderness to be with her Mountie husband. |
