About this title

Synopsis

The diary of the first non-native woman to live on the remote Alaskan Pribilof Islands in 1879–1880, illustrated with her own drawings: a true story that reads like a historical novel.

About the Author

Betty John (1907-1997) authored three children's books, "Hummingbirds", "El Captano Pelicano Caf�", and "Seloe", which is based on Libby's notes about the seals' life cycle. She served as a war correspondent during World War II, and her experiences gave rise to her book Flak Bait. In addition, she wrote plays, magazine articles, and an internationally syndicated medical column.

Betty John was perhaps best known as the founder, with her late husband Dr. Henry J. John of the first camp for diabetic children. As a designer-craftsman she also won international awards for her liturgical enamels.
