Alastair Scott, Tracks Across Alaska: A Dog Sled Journey. Hardbound in glassine-protected dust jacket. NY: Atlantic Monthly Press, 1990. Viii, 247 pages. Illustrated, glossary. Book and dust jacket  fine.  $12.

In Tracks Across Alaska, Scottish adventurer Alastair Scott recounts his extraordinary journey across Alaska's frozen wilderness. Arriving in Manley Hot Springs with no dogs, sled, or experience, Scott immerses himself in the art of mushing, assembling a team of eight dogs and setting out on an 800-mile trek along the Iditarod Trail.

Over 32 days, Scott navigates the Alaskan bush, encountering a diverse array of characters—from Iditarod champions like Susan Butcher to trappers, Eskimos, and bush priests. His narrative paints a vivid portrait of the landscape and the resilient people who inhabit it.

Each dog in Scott's team is portrayed with unique personality traits, adding depth to the journey. Scott's reflections on the harmony between man, animal, and nature offer profound insights into the spirit of adventure.
