Laura Porter, in charge of the Medford Red Cross for 30 years, wrote about the years she and her husband taught Alaskan natives in the interior in the late 1930's. With a two year supply of groceries, they lived in a corrugated cabin attached to a one room school house. She writes of prospectors, northern lights, dogsleds, bush pilots, miners, drunks, Indians Eskimos, and Alaskan life in primitive times.
