The
Cruelest Miles: The Heroic Story of Dogs and Men in a Race Against an Epidemic
Gay Salisbury
Thursday,
July 10, 7:00 pm
Gay Salisbury, co-author along with with fellow journalist and cousin Laney Salisbury, will present an illustrated talk centering on their new book, The Cruelest Miles: The Heroic Story of Dogs and Men in a Race Against an Epidemic.
Drawing on oral histories, government documents, and previously unpublished photographs, the Salisburys present the history, context, and drama surrounding the 1925 diphtheria outbreak in Nome, Alaska. Their book is the first adult book on the subject in nearly four decades.

- Iditarod The official site of the Iditarod sled dog race, in which participants race from Anchorage to Nome over the trail used in 1925.
