The Cruelest Miles: The Heroic Story of Dogs and Men in a Race Against an Epidemic Paperback - 2005
by Gay Salisbury; Laney Salisbury
Alaska, 1925: the diphtheria serum is 674 miles away. Without it, the people of Nome will not survive. "The Cruelist Miles" is the never-before-told tale of the dogs and men who braved blizzard conditions to save Nome, Alaska, from diphtheria. 34 illustrations.
First line
THERE WERE few worse places on earth to build a town, but Nome had gone up almost overnight after two Swedes and a Norwegian found a nugget the size of a small rock in a creek near the beach.
