Description
In 1897, eight whalers became trapped in the ice off Alaska’s northwestern shore.
Missionary Tom Lopp, a man extraordinarily devoted to the Eskimo peoples of Alaska, led a rescue mission of Eskimo herders with some four hundred reindeer to save the whalers before they starved or froze to death.
This is the story of Tom and Ellen Lopp and the people they lived with and loved.
