What this is about

This is The First Iditarod, an online forum to share information about the book of that title by Alaskan author Helen Hegener, which was subtitled The 1973 Race from Anchorage to Nome. The first dozen or so emailed posts will be chapters of the book, free to read and share.

Information about the book can be found here.

Subscriptions are free to anyone interested in the history of the Last Great Race.
