Summary:

The entire year is 1925. It really is sixty levels below zero. The blowing wind sweeps a great deal of snow on the deep-frozen Alaskan landscaping. The nearest railhead can be seven hundred mls apart. Airplanes cannot fly. The way to Nome is usually blocked by a treacherous iced sound, an icebound port, and mountains towards the western.

The heroism and strength of the males and their dogs can only become called legendary. Today, their story could be told.
