She was an  American school teacher who in 1941 who along with her husband, Foster  agreed to teach the Natives on the remote  Aleutian island of Attu.   They were both sixty-two years old when they left Alaska's mainland for  Attu against the advice of friends and family.   Etta, and her sister  moved to the Territory of Alaska in 1922.  She planned to stay only one  year as a  vacation, but this 40 something year old nurse from back east  met Foster Jones and fell in  love. She married and for nearly twenty  years they taught in remote Alaskan  villages including their last  posting on  Attu Island at the far end of  the Aleutian island chain.  Etta's life changed forever on that Sunday morning in June 1942  when  almost 2,000 Japanese military men invaded Attu Island and Etta became a  prisoner of war. She  was taken from American soil to Japan and given  up for dead. This is the  story of a brave American, a woman of courage  and resolve with  inextinguishable spirit. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mary Breu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48300029542651,"sku":"9780882409818","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_8ad50037-6276-4038-827f-ae9de03b6229.jpg?v=1771913130","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/last-letters-from-attu-9780882409818","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
