In 1925, a deadly diphtheria epidemic swept through icebound Nome, Alaska. The life-saving serum was a thousand miles away, and a blizzard was brewing. Airplanes could not fly in such conditions: only the dogs could do it. Racing against death, twenty dog teams relayed the serum across the Alaskan wilderness as newspapers nationwide headlined the drama, enthralling an entire generation. The heroic dash to Nome inspired the annual Iditarod Dog Sled Race in Alaska and immortalized Balto, the lead dog whose arrival in Nome over a snow-blown trail was an American legend in the making. His bronze statue still stands in New York City's Central Park, in dedication to the "Endurance, Fidelity and Intelligence" of the dogs that saved Nome. This is their story, the greatest dog story never fully told, until now.Binding Type: Hardcover

a miracle in a jar
Scent: Earthy, Nutty, Refreshing, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This item did exactly what it was expected to do, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. It works as described, is easy to use, and the overall quality exceeded my expectations.
The price was great for what you get, making it an excellent value. Everything about it—from performance to convenience—has been spot on. My sister has noticed an extreme growth in her hair since using this product.
I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something reliable and well worth the money!

Not recommended
Scent: Earthy, Nutty, Refreshing, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Not the batana oil you should be buying. No this isn’t the one. Definitely don’t recommend it. It has no that coffee smell of the real batana oil and has extra chemical ingredients and makes it runny almost like a liquid oil. I made a mistake buying it.
