  • Iditarod National Historic Trail I Historic Overview — Robert King
    Iditarod National Historic Trail i Historic Overview — Robert King Introduction: Today’s Iditarod Trail, a symbol of frontier travel and once an important artery of Alaska’s winter commerce, served a string of mining camps, trading posts, and other settlements founded between 1880 and 1920, during Alaska’s Gold Rush Era. Alaska’s gold rushes were an extension of the American mining frontier that dates from colonial America and moved west to California with the gold discovery there in 1848. In each new territory, gold strikes had caused a surge in population, the establishment of a territorial government, and the development of a transportation system linking the goldfields with the rest of the nation. Alaska, too, followed through these same general stages. With the increase in gold production particularly in the later 1890s and early 1900s, the non-Native population boomed from 430 people in 1880 to some 36,400 in 1910. In 1912, President Taft signed the act creating the Territory of Alaska. At that time, the region’s 1 Iditarod National Historic Trail: Historic Overview transportation systems included a mixture of steamship and steamboat lines, railroads, wagon roads, and various cross-country trail including ones designed principally for winter time dogsled travel. Of the latter, the longest ran from Seward to Nome, and came to be called the Iditarod Trail. The Iditarod Trail today: The Iditarod trail, first commonly referred to as the Seward to Nome trail, was developed starting in 1908 in response to gold rush era needs. While marked off by an official government survey, in many places it followed preexisting Native trails of the Tanaina and Ingalik Indians in the Interior of Alaska.

  • “Balto” Hero OR VILLAIN?
    Please return this copy to the Bistro so others may share ~ “Balto” Hero or villain? Read along with us as we search for the truth about Balto. Was he the hero of this crazy race against nature and time? Or, was he just one of the 150 sled dogs in the journey to bring the lifesaving diphtheria serum to the children of Nome, Alaska? The quest to accomplish the mission was plagued with white-out conditions, gale-force winds, cracking ice, and temperatures of 60° to 70° below zero. Balto, the dog sled team leader certainly didn’t ask for the task. But at the urging of his musher, Gunnar Kaasen, Balto and his teammates were anxious to begin their journey. Gunnar knew that Leonhard Seppala and his dog Togo were also waiting for their chance to earn Hero status for their involvement in delivering the serum to Nome. The stage is ready and set to accommodate the true hero. Written and compiled by, Emmett (Don) Mason, Kentucky Colonel Mason’s Missives, 8/20/2020, Volume 29, Balto, Hero or Villain? 1 Forward It was years ago that I visited New York and fell in love with Manhattan and its Central Park, arguably one of the most famous parks in the world. The park sits on 840 acres of high-dollar land in Manhattan between 5th and 8th Avenue and 59th and 106th Street. Manhattan is the smallest of the five boroughs (a smaller city within the massive New York metropolitan area) but still manages to draw over 40 million visitors each year.
