Book Excerpt: 
. . .nd a road-house for noon, the travelling was rather pleasant than otherwise. If there be a warm house to break the day's march and eat in, where ice-incrusted scarfs and parkees and caps and mittens may be dried out, with a warm outhouse where the dogs may rest in comfort, travelling in such weather is not too risky or too severely trying. The continual condensation of the moisture from the breath upon everything about the head and face is a decided inconvenience, and when it condenses upon the eye-lashes, and the upper and the lower lashes freeze together, the ice must be removed or it is impossible to open the eyes. This requires the momentary application of the bare hand, and every time it goes back into the mitten it carries some moisture with it, so that after a while mittens are wet as well as head-gear; moreover, there is always a certain perspiration that condenses. One gets into the habit of turning the duffel lining of the moose-hide mitts inside out and han. . . Read More

This book gives a wonderful glimpse into a lifestyle that I never will have an opportunity to experience. I don't mind missing out on temperatures that are 40 or 50 below zero, but I loved reading about it. I enjoyed seeing the mountains of Alaska through the author's eyes, and traveling with him on

This is an amazing account of the far north by an Episcopal Bishop.

I really liked this book mostly because it gives me a better insight into what goes on in the Iditarod sled dog race. This book was written about travels made in the early 1900s in Alaska by sled dog and the dangers, troubles on the trail and overall explanations have increased my knowledge about th

Historical travel in the Alaska interior by dog sled. Fascinating as some of the routes are the same followed by the Iditarod race.

An excellent story from the mind of a man who saw it all along thousands of miles of trails. He also just happened to summit Mt. McKinley with the first group of successful climbers. Great descriptions about teaching native children, his trials on the trails, and the hardships he faced with some dog

What's not to like about Hudson Stuck? A kind, curious and intelligent individual who didn't just survive, but thrived in the Far North when it was a more primitive place that it is today. Even though his writing is more basic than literary, I still recommend his books for anybody who loves the Nort
