Dog Team to Dawson: A Quest for the Cosmic Bannock and Other Yukon Stories - Batchelor, Bruce T.

INSCRIBED BY BRUCE BATCHELOR on title page; As New: This is a nostalgic collection of four true Yukon stories. A Quest for the Cosmic Bannock is the account of two young people travelling by dog team, tackling a long-abandoned Gold era route while wrestling with thoughts about their own destinies. Cost-Plus illustrates how greed and modern equipment cannot trump Nature - unless one is very lucky. In Trapping the Mad Trapper; Batchelor mines a 1932 account by Old Crow nurse Helen Thornthwaite to reveal how Yukoners played the major roles in stopping Albert Johnson's escape attempt. Love Story for Lucy is a tender tribute to the bond between man and dog. Dog Team to Dawson is the prequel to Bruce Batchelor's Nine Dog Winter, providing readers of that classic account with earlier adventures into the heart and soul of the Yukon Territory.
