Paperback. Zustand: Good. DeeDee Jonrowe loves dogs, and her consuming passion is the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Winter and summer, virtually day and night (even in her dreams!), she and her huskies prepare for the annual race across Alaska. IDITAROD DREAMS is an absorbing, personal account of a year in the life of this remarkable woman living on the edge of the wilderness with her husband, Mike, and enough howling huskies to populate a small town. It is about the special bond between a woman and her dogs and about the astonishing measure of skill and stamina required to compete in the Iditarod. DeeDee Jonrowe talks about. Care of Dogs: I'm sure the average Iditarod dog gets better care than 99 percent of the dogs in America. Bad Weather: I was stuck beside the trail for 36 hours in a blizzard with no visibility and a windchill factor of 50 below. My feet were cold, but I was more worried about the dogs. Success: Racing sled dogs is a selfish occupation. Yet, part of winning is having your life in balance, giving something of your success to other people.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. A former marine fighter pilot, Jay Hammond heads north to Alaska after World War I. He becomes a trapper, bush pilot, fisherman, guide, wolf hunter, poet, environmentalist, and finally a reluctant politician who endears himself to Alaska's people by telling them the unvarnished and sometimes unwelcome truth as he sees it about the state of affairs in their oil-boom state. They punish him by electing him governor. In his autobiography, Hammond reveals the real Alaska beyond the media myths and tourist literature. He introduces an assortment of unforgettable characters across the breadth of this giant land and shares his adventures surviving murder and mayhem, airplane crashes, broken bones, bare-knuckle political brawls, and--the greatest affliction of them all--lawyers.…
