Hook line : Learn how a historic Arctic program moved trained reindeer from Lapland to Alaska to aid remote communities.

This government-backed effort shaped transportation, relief work, and community life in the region.

The book documents a major 1898 initiative led by the U.S. government to introduce domesticated reindeer into Alaska. It covers the expedition to Lapland, the purchase and training of a herd, and the establishment of new reindeer stations to support mining communities and relief efforts. Through diaries, letters, and official reports, you’ll see how a group of Lapland herders were recruited, housed, and guided to drive sleds and move supplies across icy landscapes.

See how the project began, including a commission to Lapland and the procurement of trained reindeer and handlers.
Follow the movement of the herd and the creation of new stations to support remote parts of Alaska.
Get a window into daily life, work routines, and the logistics of provisioning and transporting relief.
Understand the broader aims of the program, from transportation to natural disaster relief in the Arctic.

Ideal for readers of Arctic history, Alaskan exploration, and government-led efforts to support remote communities.
