Puntúa 2,00
sobre 2,00 In the early 1920's, settlers came to Alaska looking for gold. They traveled by boat to the coastal towns of Seward and
Knik, and from there by land into the gold elds. The trail they used to travel inland is known today as the Iditarod Trail,
one of the National Historic Trails designated by the Congress of the United States. The Iditarod Trail quickly became a
major thoroughfare in Alaska, as the mail and supplies were carried across this trail. People also used it to get from place
to place, including the priests, ministers, and judges who had to travel between villages. In the winter, the settlers’ only
means of travel down this trail was via dog sled.
     Once the gold rush ended, many gold-seekers went back to where they had come from, and suddenly there was much
less travel on the Iditarod Trail. The introduction of the airplane in the late 1920’s meant dog teams were no longer the
standard mode of transportation, and of course with the airplane carrying the mail and supplies, there was less need for
land travel in general. The nal blow to the use of the dog teams was the appearance of snowmobiles.  

     By the mid 1960's, most Alaskans didn’t even know the Iditarod Trail existed, or that dog teams had played a crucial
role in Alaska’s early settlements. Dorothy G. Page, a self-made historian, recognized how few people knew about the
former use of sled dogs as working animals and about the Iditarod Trail’s role in Alaska’s colorful history. To raise
awareness about this aspect of Alaskan history, she came up with the idea to have a dog sled race over the Iditarod Trail.
She presented her idea to an enthusiastic musher, as dog sled drivers are known, named Joe Redington, Sr. Soon the
Pages and the Redingtons were working together to promote the idea of the Iditarod race.
     Many people worked to make the rst Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race a reality in 1967. The Aurora Dog Mushers Club,
along with men from the Adult Camp in Sutton, helped clear years of overgrowth from the rst nine miles of the Iditarod
Trail. To raise interest in the race, a $25,000 purse was offered, with Joe Redington donating one acre of his land to help
raise the funds. The short race, approximately 27 miles long, was put on a second time in 1969.

     After these rst two successful races, the goal was to lengthen the race a little further to the ghost town of Iditarod by
1973. However in 1972, the U.S. Army reopened the trail as a winter exercise, and so in 1973, the decision was made to
take the race all the way to the city of Nome—over 1,000 miles. There were many who believed it could not be done and
that it was crazy to send a bunch of mushers out into the vast, uninhabited Alaskan wilderness. But the race went! 22
mushers nished that year, and to date over 400 people have completed it.
 

 The primary purpose of this passage is to?

Seleccione una:
a. outline the circumstances that led to the establishment of the Iditarod Trail

b. describe the obstacles involved in founding the Iditarod race

c. recount the history of the Iditarod trail and the race that memorializes it
