Summary:  "Whaling in the Arctic waters off Alaska's coast was as dangerous as it was lucrative in 1897. In that particular year, winter came early, imprisoning eight American whaleships in ice. With limited provisions, there was little hope that the three hundred stranded men could survive until warmer temperature arrived. President McKinley ordered three men to carry out an incredible overland rescue that covered 1,500 miles of treacherous Alaskan terrain in the dead of winter. With their own survival in the balance, the three battled raging storms, injured sled dogs, and their own will to continue to bring relief to the starving whalemen. Entries from the rescuers' journals and photographs of the unlikely expedition dramatically document every mile of their heroic unpresedented journey."--[P. 4 of cover]. Audience:  Ages 10 and up. P.
