Watch the movie Togo with Willem Dafoe, about the sled team that braved some horrific events to get the medicine for a deadly diptheria outbreak in Nome Alazka in the early part of the 19th century. Balto got the statue and the noteriety, but Togo went the longest distance and was the first of several sled teams.
Great family film.
We watched Togo the other day. Great movie!
Just saw it a few weeks ago with the family and totally agree. This was the type of movie that Disney used to make.
I saw the statue at Denali.
