TRAIN WITH LOVE

Over beer and hamburgers at the Two Rivers Lodge near Fairbanks, Alaska, a small group of mushers conceived a gutsy idea for a new sled dog race that would be more challenging than any other marathon race in the Far North. In 1984, mushers organized the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race between Fairbanks and Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Soon, mushers adopted an unofficial race motto, Survive first, race second.

The Quest trail boasts fewer checkpoints, longer wilderness runs, and more campouts. The trail crosses three mountain passes, including the dreaded 3,685-foot Eagle Summit, a killer of mushers' dreams. Outdoor survival skills and self-reliance are on a par with commercial sponsorships and high-tech sleds and mushing gear.

In a place where respect is not easily earned, the name of this homesteader, pilot, and visionary dog-musher generates awe. His is the classic image of an Alaska pioneer--rugged, independent, determined, hard-working. Meet Joe Redington, Father of the Iditarod, a man who found his destiny in Alaska. In an inspirational biography, Chicago Tribune sportswriter Lew Freedman chronicles Redington's birth on the Chisholm Trail and his boyhood in the Depression--homeless, motherless, roaming the country looking for work as a field hand. Alaska was his rebirth in 1948. Redington found the home he never had. On his own piece of dirt, a man could raise a family, hunt, fish, run dogs, and stand up for what he believed. Almost single-handedly, Redington rescued Alaska dog mushing from extinction. With ambition, an abiding love for sled dogs, and refusal to accept it can't be done, Redington created a legacy in the thousand-mile race across Alaska that has thrilled the world for more than three decades, the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

A pictorial history of The American Greyhound Derby from the years 1949 to 2012 detailing the most prestigious greyhound race in the United States.

Greyhound racing conjures images of speed, grace, and tradition. For over a century, these sleek dogs have competed on oval tracks across America, thrilling fans with their agility and lightning-fast runs. Yet beyond the betting and grandeur lies a misunderstood world not often explored.

In Born to Run, veteran journalist John Smith uncovers the rich history and close-knit community of greyhound racing. Through exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes access, he reveals the inner workings of a sport that many dismissively label as cruel. While candidly examining the ethical debates around racing, Smith captures the deep affection owners and trainers have for their dogs, painting a poignant portrait of the human-canine bond.

From the barnyards of Ireland where the sport first thrived, to the rise of modern tracks in Florida and beyond, Born to Run traces how generations of breeders, handlers, and racing dogs shaped this distinct subculture. With vivid profiles, rare archival images, and on-the-ground reportage, Smith unpacks myths and misconceptions, transporting readers trackside for an immersive look at a dynamic sport driven by passion.

More than a history, Born to Run is a journey inside kennels, racetracks, and the hearts of a tight-knit community bound by traditions, friendships, and their devotion to an often misunderstood breed. This is the definitive tale of the flying greyhounds who were truly Born to Run.

In IDITAROD ADVENTURES, mushers explain why they have chosen this rugged lifestyle, what has kept them in long-distance mushing, and the experiences they have endured along that unforgiving trail between Anchorage and Nome.

The book also features interviews with administrators who organize the event and make sure it happens every year, volunteers, and others whose connection to the Iditarod is self-evident even if they don't have an official title.

After twenty years of 'living the dream, ' author Laurie Niedermayer shares her story. From the silly antics in the beginning to the last official tour taken by the teams, this book is a nostalgic look at some of the reality, adventures and misadventures of life on the trail.

Beginning with her first Siberian Husky, Laurie's journey has taken her from novice dog sled racer to film trainer, successful tour operator through to retirement. Her love of the dogs and passion for the sport clearly comes through in her tributes to the dogs that first started her on this path.

Based on the condensed journal entries from thousands of miles of running trails, she says, Yes, folks, this really happened, believe me, Hollywood couldn't write this stuff...

Teenagers, Brooke Anne and James, are strong competitors who train dogs to win in North American dog-sled races. Besides racing, great challenges come from a prize lead-dog gone deaf, a grizzly bear on attack, a crash through Yukon River ice, and a charging moose. Experiences are either told by Brooke Anne or by James. Their adventures bring danger, outstanding dogs, tests of culture, and a glimpse of lives evolving.

This book is terrific...I promise you, short of getting on a dog sled, traveling into the darkness, and running the Iditarod yourself, this will be the next best thing to being there.--Mitch Albom, Detroit Free Press Blinding Blizzards.
