From 1906 to 1918, Green kept a personal journal—hitherto inprivate possession—in which she reflected on her professionalduties and her domestic life in Alaska. Collected in The Teacherand the Superintendent are Boulter’s letters andGreen’s diary. Together, their vivid, first-hand impressionsbespeak the earnest but paternalistic beliefs of those who lived andworked in immensely isolated regions, seeking to bring Christianity and“civilized” values to the Native children in their care.Beyond shedding private light on the missionary spirit, however,Boulter and Green have also left us an invaluable account of the dailyconflicts that occurred between church and government and of the manyinjustices suffered by the Native population in the face of themisguided efforts of both institutions.
George E. Boulter II was born in Alaska and laterlived in California before embarking in 1942 on a career in the U.S.Merchant Marines. Barbara Grigor-Taylor, of CavendishRare Books, London, is an antiquarian bookseller.
