Subtitle: The Heroic Story of Dogs & Men in a Race Against an Epidemic. The port of Nome, Alaska, was icebound and signs of the deadly diphtheria epidemic were mounting daily. The nearest railroad was in Nenana, 700 miles away. The blizzard conditions prevented airplanes from flying. Only teams of dogs and men could get the serum to Nome in time to stave off disaster. This is their story told in full.
