Far from starting in Willow, the trail’s true origin lies in Seward, forged in 1908 by Walter Goodwin for winter supply runs to Nome. Dog sleds carried life and mail before planes took over, until Joe Redington revived it in the 1970s, launching the legendary race that now honors its historic legacy. Through vivid firsthand accounts and rare photos, Hegener brings this forgotten path roaring back to life — a testament to endurance, resilience, and the enduring spirit of Alaska.
