"[...] In the last two years, largely as the result of the untiring efforts of Bishop Rowe on behalf of the natives, two modern, well-equipped hospitals have been built, with money that he and his clergy have gathered, on the Yukon River, one at Fort Yukon and one at Tanana; and these are the only places of any kind, on nearly a thousand miles of the river, where sick or injured Indians may be received and cared for. Amongst men of thought and feeling there is noticeable revulsion from the supercilious attitude that used not to be uncommon toward the little peoples of the world. It begins to be recognised that it is quite possible that even the smallest of the little peoples may have some contribution to make to the welfare and progress of the[...]".

And it is about Alaska, a subject that gets my attention. The book was written by a minister who traveled to various missions in the early 1900's. The suspense of his journeys and how they managed the dogs through the snow and ice kept my attention. I also liked his description of Mt. McKinley and other scenery as he traveled across the rivers and terrain. Another interesting and historical book.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. One of my most enjoyable reads ever By D. D. LeDu First, I must admit my bias, based on personal experience. I have traveled by snowshoe, crossed the Sierras in the winter, camped in the snow, gold mined in Northern California, and worked outside in Montana in 20 to 40 below weather. As a result, this book resonates with me, and the grit shown by Alaskan "mushers" astounds me.The author was a cleric (although this is not a religious book by any means) who covered his "parish" in the winter by dogsled. The actual travels are interesting, but they are a thread upon which the author strings nuggets about early 20th Century life in remote areas of Alaska.He tells of the care, feeding and selection of sled dogs, of course. But he also tells how miners thawed the soil to a depth at which they wished to secure gold, and how they froze tunnels through the water to mine the ocean floor. He tells of interesting personalities, the types of people who flocked to Alaska, the characteristics of the natives, the quality of Alaskan potatoes, the types of snow and ice conditions, and a thousand other interesting details.By the time you are finished, you will know what temperatures are best for winter travel, the difficulties of sharing the wilderness trails with horses, all about illicit liquor traders, the curse of cotton clothing, how to stick rabbit fur on your nose to prevent frostbite to your probiscus, and a lot more than you ever considered about early Alaskan life.I can't imagine anyone who would not enjoy this book. But if you are an outdoorsman (or woman!) or just like true adventure stories, this is likely to be one of your favorites as well.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Insightful and Authoratative By William J. Vaudrain, Jr. Taken as a piece of historical literature, 10,000 Miles has few equals. Mine is a first edition printing of the book,and it holding it in my hand often gives me a chill as I read Stuck's accounts of his winter travels by dogsled. Being a fan of the Alaskan literary genre, I hold this book in high esteem; in its own right, as illustrative and authoratative in its telling as John McPhee's Coming into the Country would be over 60 years later.Find it and read it!
