The Adventures of a Young American School Teacher and His Wife among the Eskimos on Little Diomede Island in Bering Strait nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Two on the Rocks started life as an account of a youthful adventure. Newlyweds, the author and his bride signed a two-year contract in 1952 to teach school in the Territory of Alaska. Ultimately, they found themselves marooned on Little Diomede Island in the middle of the Bering Straight ... the frozen Bering Sea to the south, the endless ice flows of the Arctic Ocean to the North, a Cold War Soviet military contingent watching their every move from another pile of rocks to the west, and mainland Alaska thirty impossible miles to the east. Responsible for the island's one-room school, they were soon involved in every facet of village life some happy, some comical, some serious, some tragic. Returning to the Lower Forty-Eight, the couple raised a family, and grew older if not wiser. Forty years flew by, and they decided to return to "their" island another adventure appended to the original book as Epilogue 2. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
