In the early 1920's, settlers had come to Alaska following a gold strike. They traveled by boat to the coastal towns of Seward and Knik and from there, by land into the gold fields. The trail they used is today known as The Iditarod Trail, one of the National Historic Trails as so designated by the Congress of the United States. In the winter, their only means of travel was by dog team. The Iditarod Trail soon became the major "thoroughfare" through Alaska. Mail was carried across this trail, people used the trail to get from place to place and supplies were transported via the Iditarod Trail. Priests, ministers and judges traveled between villages via dog team. All too soon the gold mining began to slack off. People began to go back to where they had come from and suddenly there was less travel on the Iditarod Trail. The use of the airplane in the late 1920's signaled the beginning of the end for the dog team as a standard mode of transportation, and of course with the airplane carrying the mail, there was less need for land travel. The final blow to the use of the dog team came with the appearance of snowmobiles in Alaska. * http://www.iditarod.com/learn/history.html
Why was Rachael Scdoris refused entry into the Iditarod race in 2004?
Rachel Scdoris was born with an uncorrectable vision defect known as congenital achromatopsia. She was denied entry into the Iditarod until 2005, when the Iditarod Trail Committee allowed her to race with the aid of a visual interpreter after she waged a two year battle with them to compete.
How long are Iditarod races?
The Iditarod race goes on until all teams reach the finish line. If you aren't arriving at the same time as the winner (same day) you will be forgotten to be clear and the winner will have the victory!!
How is the Oregon trail and California Trail alike?
Like the Oregon trail the California trail was a long overland route for those who wished to move west. They both followed the same river valley's and trails for most of the trip until they arrived in Idaho, Wyoming or Utah, where they would turn off and go to their respective destinations. Both were popular from the early 1840's until the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. As you probably guessed, they were both similar in length, both being roughly 2,000 miles long.
