This is the definitive story of the Iditarod, the dogsled race that has
been run for over a century--told in brisk inviting stories and fully
illustrated with color photographs, including updated information
through the 2018 race.
The famed 1000-mile dogsled race from Anchorage in Southeast Alaska to
Nome on the Bering Sea is a test of endurance, both human and canine.
The great history of the race has unfolded in the accounts of mushers
and dog teams, fierce weather, accidents and good luck--with
personalities like Joe Redington Sr., Rick Swenson, and Libby Riddles
being joined by Lance Mackey, DeeDee Jonrowe, and Mitch & Dallas Seavey
in recent years. The book is thoroughly illustrated with Jeff Schultz's
photography, including coverage of the most recent runnings of the
Iditarod.
