Reader reviews for Iditarod Classics: Tales of the Trail Told by the Men & Women Who Race Across Alaska

From the publisher

"This book is terrific...I promise you, short of getting on a dog sled, traveling into the darkness, and running the Iditarod yourself, this will be the next best thing to being there."--Mitch Albom, Detroit Free Press Blinding Blizzards. Freezing wind. Paralyzingly cold temperatures. The 1,100-mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race is an annual marathan run from Anchorage to Nome across the nation's most forbidding and dangerous territory. The competitors in one of the world's toughest endurance contests must be resourceful, rugged, and resilient. Sometimes, they must make life and death choices. These are the stories -- in their own words -- of the men and women who challenge the elements. "Earthy & eloquent--each story an adventure." Juneau (Alaska) Empire

First line

IDITAROD FANS WERE ASTONISHED in 1978 when Dick Mackey won the closest race in Iditarod history, winning the title in a photo finish with Rick Swenson after the two mushers raced across Alaska for two weeks.

The competitors in one of the world's toughest endurance contests must be resourceful, rugged, and resilient. Often they must make life and death choices. These are the stories -- in their own words -- of men and women who challenge the elements. Many fans believe this is the best book written about the Iditarod.
