Polar Sledge Dogs
This book traces the history of huskies, their training, and their lives, especially in Antarctica, and the relocation of the Mawson dogs to their new home in Minnesota, USA. It features not only the role sledge dogs played in the exploration of the world's polar regions, but also deals with the mystique of their relationship with the people they helped and even the postage stamps which celebrated them. Jonathan Chester's superb colour photographs, plus many historical prints, combined with his well-researched text make this a fascinating and personal insight.
