Dog Team to Dawson is a nostalgic collection of true Yukon
stories written by bestselling author Bruce Batchelor. A Quest for
the Cosmic Bannock is the account of two young people travelling by
dog team, tackling a long-abandoned Gold Rush era route while
wrestling with thoughts about their own destinies. Cost-Plus
illustrates how greed and modern equipment cannot trump Nature -
unless one is very lucky. In Trapping the Mad Trapper, Batchelor
mines a 1932 account by Old Crow nurse Helen Thornthwaite to reveal
how Yukoners played the major roles in stopping Albert Johnson's
escape attempt. Love Story for Lucy is a tender tribute to the bond
between man and dog.
Dog Team to Dawson is the prequel to Bruce Batchelor's "Nine Dog
Winter," providing readers of that classic account with earlier
adventures into the heart and soul of the Yukon Territory.
Bruce Batchelor lived in Canada's Yukon during the 1970s and
early 1980s, travelling extensively throughout the territory,
fascinated by the wilderness and the people who chose to live in
the bush. His Northern stories have appeared in magazines and
newspapers, and in the books "Yukon Channel Charts, The Lost Whole
Moose Catalogue" and "Nine Dog Winter." He is also author of "Book
Marketing DeMystified."
Bruce Batchelor is an editor and publisher, living in Victoria,
BC, with his wife Marsha, their son Dan and a gentle black dog
named Browser.

sharing a hot cocoa by the fireside."

with dogs. Dogs with people. Everybody with the outdoors."

highly."
