Spirit of the Wind
by Lew Freedman

 

The Story of George Attla, Legendary Sled Dog Sprint Champ

In 1958, no one in the Fur Rendezvous World Championship Sled Dog Race knew the Athabascan Indian from Huslia who limped to the starting line in Anchorage. But when he finished with the winning time, George Attla opened a new chapter in the history of sprint mushing. For decades, Attla, the "Huslia Hustler," reined as Alaska's most winning sprint champion, having overcome crippling TB as a child.

Special note to readers: This is a new edition, with a new title, new introduction and new epilogue, of a work first published by Stackpole Books.

"SPIRIT OF THE WIND updates the story of one of the all-time mushing greats...conveying Attla's determination and his sense of humor."
