by Lew Freedman. This is the stirring biography of George Attla, Athabascan Indian from the tiny Koyukuk River village of Huslia, who limped to the starting line in the 1958 Fur Rendezvous World Championship sled dog race in Anchorage. Attla's record-setting victory shocked the mushing establishment and ushered in a new era of sled dog racing. This book tells of Attla's rivalry with mushing greats, his remarkable success raising fast dogs, & his own triumph over crippling bone tuberculosis. It is a truly inspirational story. 223 pages, 2000
