In A Far Country

by John Taliaferro, 2006

“The True Story of a Mission, a Marriage, a Murder, and the Remarkable Reindeer Rescue of 1898.” Full of history of the Lopps, Tom & Ellen, who start a mission in Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, in 1890. Lots of info on whaling, reindeer, natives in Alaska.Very, very interesting. What incredible hardships – Ellen had 6 children in Alaska all without a doctor’s help – by herself mainly. Hardy, strong folk! Good people!
