February 1917 Race Promises Winter Carnival Drama
In St Paul during a February 1917 weekend I watched a dramatic dog sled race from Winnipeg to St Paul. Fred Hartman, aiming to fund his return to Boston School of Technology, entered with five dogs after a dog fight left him with the minimum four. The event, part of Louis Hill’s winter carnival, drew thousands as 150 drum corps and numerous queens paraded in bright coats amid a season of prosperity. The article notes ongoing public interest, with future installments teased.
