Fred Hartman Fights Through Blizzard in 1917 Dog Derby
The Bostonian Fred Hartman, starting with five Hudson Bay dogs, battles frigid blizzards and fatigue over 522 miles from Winnipeg to St Paul in the Red River International Dog Derby. Despite losing lead dogs, a fall near Grand Forks, and harsh conditions, he finishes fifth after ten days, then dies in 1918 in France. He won $550 plus appearance fees.
