I’ve read a lot of books about the Iditarod, but this one really stands out. Before I read this book, all of the mushers sort of ran together in my head. Now I have a sense of them as individuals. Susan Butcher, Joe Redington, The Mackey Dynasty, Martin Buser, and others share their thoughts on this “last great race”. Their stories are all inspirational, yet all unique. It’s amazing to think of all these people dedicated to traveling over 1,000 miles by dog sled, risking their lives for relatively little return. It takes a special type of person to take on the Iditarod.
