First book about the All Alaska Sweepstakes

The oldest recognized sled dog race in the world!

Historic 408-mile race across Alaska’s backcountry
founded in 1907 in the Gold Rush town of Nome, Alaska

This photo-rich book tells the story of the sixteen intrepid Alaskan mushers who entered their top dogteams, each hoping to have their name engraved on the historic Sweepstakes trophy beside the great mushing legends A. A. “Scotty” Allan and Leonhard Seppala – but also hoping to win the richest purse ever offered for a sled dog race: $100,000 winner take all!
