While it might not be a comprehensive history, but for sheer enjoyment, the book is a real page-turner.
Updated: 2 minutes ago"The History of Sled Dogs in North America: From the Bering Sea to the Atlantic Ocean," by Helen HegenerBy Helen Hegener; Northern Lights Media, 2023; 420 pages; $69.95.
The first is the book’s considerable size. At 420 large pages, it’s daunting on the surface and might cause even the most avid musher to think twice about reading it. Don’t be daunted, and don’t think twice. The writing is lively, there are plenty of illustrations, and best of all, it’s fun to read. Also reprinted are the always dependable Tappan Adney, reporting from Dawson City in 1897 , an 1892 Harper’s article by Julian Ralph , and a 1927 Nome Nugget story about champion racer Leonard Seppala’s trip Outside . A 1911 report in the San Francisco Daily Call about a former Alaskan, Mrs. Charles Hannum, driving her dog-powered cart through Golden Gate Park, is an absolute gem of creative writing. It’s something a more formal book on the topic would likely cite, not reprint.
