Bloomsbury Publishing, London, 2003. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Fine Condition/Fine. blue end-papers; It is 1925. The gold-rush town of Nome sits on the edge of the Bering Sea, two degrees below the Arctic Circle, and there are few more forbidding places on earth. When signs of a diphtheria epidemic broke out in town, Dr. Curtis Welch knew it was the biggest crisis of his life. Supplies of the serum were dangerously low and it was winter. The entire town would be in danger if the medicine didn't arrive in time. He ordered a quarantine and sent an urgent appeal for help. The port was icebound; the nearest railhead was almost 700 miles away across mountains, rivers, and the treacherous ice of Norton Sound; aeroplanes, of the time, had not been tested in such conditions. A relay of dog sleds was set up, and the drivers, many of them Native Alaskans, set off at night into a blizzard at 60 degrees below zero, often trusting their lead dogs to find the trail under feet of driven snow. It was to be a desperate, death-defying race against time. ‘The Cruellest Miles’ is the gripping story of the Serum Run an expedition so riddled with obstacles, natural disasters and feats of heroic endurance that it is hard to believe every word is true. Tense and unbearably thrilling, this is a classic adventure story.  Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 303 pages. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. in archive acetate film protection.

It is 1925. The goldrush town of Nome sits two degrees below the Arctic Circle, and there are few more forbidding places on earth. When signs of diptheria broke out, Dr. Curtis Welch knew it was the biggest crisis of his life. Supplies of the serum were dangerously low and it was winter. There would be an epidemic if the medicine didn't arrive in time. Welch's urgent plea for help made national headlines and all of America watched with bated breath to see if an expedition could reach Nome in time. The dangers were immense for Nome was utterly isolated. The only option was to get the serum to the nearest point by rail and then use a relay of dog sleds to trek through the remaining 700 miles, night and day, and in blizzards raging at - 60 degrees. It was to be a desperate race against time - one that captured the imagination of America and turned the drivers and their heroic dogs into celebrities of the time. THE CRUELLEST MILES is the heart-pounding account of the famous Serum Run. Unbearably thrilling and tense, this is a classic story of human (and canine) endurance and heroism.
