This harrowing tale is the story of a dog musher during the Klondike and Nome gold rushes. Originally published in 1928, Walden's narrative has not diminished in impact or historical significance. It is one of the most exciting books ever written about dog mushing or the great gold rushes. Wolf Creek Classics is a series of the most interesting books about Alaska and the Yukon. These historic works have been reprinted with their original typefaces and layouts

Mad Dogs and an Englishwoman reference,
By Just Me (here and there across the USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Dog Puncher on the Yukon (Wolf Creek Classics) (Paperback)
Polly Evans refers to this in her wonderful Mad Dogs And An Englishwoman. She tells us: "News of the Klondike discovery was brought to Circle by Arthur Walden; he worked as a dog driver and made his living carrying mail, freight, and paying passengers on his sled."
