520    "After a fifteen-year career as a sled dog racer, musher 
       Dave Olesen turned his focus away from competition and set
       out to fulfill a lifelong dream. Over the course of four 
       successive winters he steered his dogs and sled on long 
       trips away from his remote Northwest Territories homestead,
       setting out in turn to the four cardinal compass points - 
       south, east, north, and west - and home again to Hoarfrost
       River. His narrative ranges from the personal and poignant
       musings of a dogsled driver to loftier planes of 
       introspection and contemplation. Olesen describes his 
       journeys day by day, but this book is not merely an 
       account of his travels. Neither is it yet another offering
       in the genre of wide-eyed southerner meets the Arctic, 
       because Olesen is a firmly rooted northerner, having lived
       and travelled in the boreal outback for over thirty years.
       Olesen's life story colours his writing: educated 
       immigrant, husband and father, professional dog musher, 
       working bush pilot, and denizen of log cabins far off the 
       grid. He and his dogs feel at home in country lying miles 
       back of beyond. This book demolishes many of the cliches 
       that imbue writings about bush life, the Canadian Far 
       North, and dogsledding. It is a unique blend of armchair 
       adventure, personal memoir, and thoughtful, down-to-earth 
       reflection"--Publisher's description.
