The First Iditarod: Mushers' Tales
Musher after musher agrees that no one – racers or officials – knew what to expect, according to Bill Sherwonit in his book "Iditarod: The Great Race to Nome" (Alaska Northwest Books, 1991).
In March 1973, thirty-six mushers stood at the starting line in Anchorage, Alaska, looking down the trail toward Nome, over 1,000 miles away. Several years ago, the author set out to track down and visit the remaining mushers from the 1973 race who were willing to share their stories and memories of what it was like to be one of the original pioneers setting out on what has since become known as "The Last Great Race on Earth."
The author has not included all of the still-living mushers' stories, as many of them have written their own books, and many others did not reply to the author's inquiries. However, much of the book is comprised of the verbatim words of mushers who made that first journey to Nome in 1973, captured through recorded and videotaped interviews conducted over a span of several years.
One musher, Ford Reeves, who teamed up with Mike Schreiber to run the 1973 Iditarod, stated, "And they still don't know what happened, because no one's ever asked us." This captivating true story is told through the voices of the pioneering mushers who embarked on the inaugural Iditarod race.
The author's efforts to preserve the memories and experiences of these original Iditarod racers have resulted in a compelling narrative that transports readers back to the early days of this iconic Alaskan event. By giving voice to the mushers themselves, the book offers a unique and authentic perspective on the challenges, triumphs, and enduring spirit that defined the first Iditarod race.
