Ride shotgun with the heroic mushers whose bravery inspired the Iditarod.In the winter of 1925, Nome, Alaska, was hit by an unexpected and deadly outbreak of diphtheria. Officials immediately quarantined the town, but the only cure for the community of more than 1,400 people was antitoxin serum and the nearest supply was in Anchorage―hundreds of miles of snowbound wilderness away. The only way to get it to Nome was by dogsled.Twenty teams braved subzero temperatures and blizzard conditions to run over 600 miles in six days in a desperate relay race that saved the people of Nome. Several of the dogs, including Togo and Balto, became national heroes. Today their efforts, and those of the courageous mushers, are commemorated every March by the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Jon Van Zyle's stunning oil paintings capture the brutal conditions, pristine wilderness, and sheer guts and determination demonstrated by the heroic mushers and dogs.

When he goes to spend the summer with his great-aunt in the family's old house, eleven-year-old Drew is drawn eighty years into the past to trade places with his great-great-uncle who is dying of diphtheria.

Edwin Lucas Kautz, born in 1891 in Budapest, was the fourth child of Rosa and Ludwig Kautz in a Hungarian Catholic household. His older siblings had died in infancy of diphtheria, followed by Edwin then six more healthy children. Facing the dire poverty of their homeland, Rosa emigrated to the United States hoping to earn for her family a better life. Working as a cigar roller in New York City enabled her to send money home so the rest of her family could follow. Edwin, only twelve, was her first child to arrive, making the trip alone on the steamship SS Blücher. The rest of the family followed, and three more siblings were born in the New World. Through hard work and opportunity, the family was able to send Edwin to college, where he experienced two spiritual crises -- at first losing his faith and becoming an atheist, and then joining the Hungarian Baptists. His grit and determination led to a satisfying family life and remarkable career as a teacher, minister, and enthusiastic advocate for Christian pacifism. He encountered the wide spectrum of American values -- from the bright light of freedom and opportunity to the dark heart of American racism. Kautz offers honest, sobering, and ultimately hopeful reflections about his passage from impoverished immigrant to patriotic American and enthusiastic advocate for Christian pacifism.
