Download The Race to Nome Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
In 1925, Dr. Curis Welch, in Nome, Alaska, diagnosed two cases of diphtheria. He had only enough serum on hand for a few injections. While the virus is dangerous to anyone, the native population had little resistance to this "white man's" disease. It would surely kill them. 300,000 units of serum were sent by train from Anchorage to Nenana. From there, the serum was relayed to Nome by twenty dog teams, across 674 miles in sub zero weather. The serum arrived in 27.5 hours. The event is commemorated today by the Iditarod Sled Dog Race.

Download Leonhard Seppala Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
The Nome Kennel Club was founded ostensibly to sponsor races as a way to settle the never-ending dispute over who owned the best dogs. The club s rules for participation led to a greater respect for and care of sled dogs in a way that, until recently, had yet to be fully appreciated. That Leonhard Seppala and his Siberians became the ambassadors carrying the Nome Kennel Club s humane dog care message from Nome to New England was inevitable nice-looking, calm, friendly dogs who adored their driver and a charismatic man who loved his dogs.

Download The Adventures of Balto Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Balto, the great Alaska sled dog, has been dead since 1933. But he still stands larger-than-life on Dogdom's Mount Olympus, where the world's great canines are immortalized. Yet few people know Baltos true story. Only one small part has been told, and even it has been distorted. Several Balto books have been written. There's even a Balto animated movie, but it, too, is largely fiction. (Balto was NOT part wolf!) Like the books, the movie leaves off where this book begins — and tells the best part of the story. Balto was only three years old when he helped carry serum across Alaska from Nenana to Nome to save the town's children from diphtheria. As leader of the last dog team in the life-saving relay race, he became an overnight sensation — a BONEa fide international celebrity. But much more happened after that. Balto lived for eight more years. His days unfolded like a sled expedition to the North Pole, carrying him in an exhilarating rush over smooth snow one minute, an icy hummock the next. And how does the new story end? With a heart-thumping surprise that you can't imagine — and neither could have Balto. Hook up your harness, step into Balto's booties, and mush off to Balto's true story.
