Description
Meet Chinook — a golden-colored pup born in New Hampshire in 1917, but destined for the wilds. Named by explorer and sled-dog legend Arthur T. Walden after a roaring Alaskan wind, Chinook went on to become a front-page sensation, setting sled-dog records and even joining historic Antarctic expeditions. This beautifully illustrated little book pairs Pagel’s lively verse with nearly 40 wood engravings by Rick Allen, offering readers a blend of true adventure, rugged spirit, and artistry. Perfect for dog-lovers, history fans, and anyone who enjoys a tale of triumph through snow and ice—The First Chinook brings the chill, the chase, and the heart of sled-dog legend right into your reading nook.
