Ten Thousand Miles in a Dog Sled: A Narrative of Winter Travel in Interior in Alaska (Timeless Classic Books) - Softcover
Synopsis
This volume deals with a series of journeys taken with a dog team over the winter trails in the interior of Alaska. A mail-carrier on one of the longer dog routes will cover four thousand miles in a winter, while the writer's average is less than two thousand. But his sled has gone far off the beaten track, across the arctic wilderness, into many remote corners; wherever, indeed, white men or natives were to be found in all the great interior. This fascinating bit of history includes topics such as: Fairbanks To The Chandalar Through Circle City And Fort Yukon , Chandalar Village To Bettles, Coldfoot, And The Koyukuk , Bettles To The Pacific-The Alatna, Kobuk Portage, Kobuk Village, Kotzebue Sound, The Seward Peninsula-Candle Creek, Council, And Nome Nome To Fairbanks-Norton Sound-The Kaltag Portage-Nulato-Up The Yukon To Tanana, The "First Ice"-An Autumn Adventure On The Koyukuk The Koyukuk To The Yukon And To Tanana-Christmas Holidays At Saint John's-In-The-Wilderness, Up The Yukon To Rampart And Across Country To The Tanana-Alaskan Agriculture-The Good Dog Nanook-Miss Farthing's Boys At Nenana-Chena And Fairbanks, Tanana Crossing To Fortymile And Down The Yukon-A Patriarchal Chief-Swarming Caribou-Eagle And Fort Egbert-Circle City And Fort Yukon , From The Tanana River To The Kuskokwim-Thence To The Iditarod Mining Camp-Thence To The Yukon, And Up That River To Fort Yukon, The Natives Of Alaska, Photography In The Arctic, The Northern Lights, The Alaskan Dogs
