The story
Balto
Central Park, New York · USA
A life-or-death serum relay through −30°F blizzards — 674 miles in 5 days — then a bronze hero in Central Park within ten months.
A life-or-death relay in −30°F blizzards — ~674 miles in 5 days and 7 hours, with not one vial of serum damaged — followed by the world in newspapers and radio. Within ten months a bronze hero stood in Central Park, and the hero himself walked in for his own unveiling. A century later, children still climb on his back — his ears and back polished shiny by a century of hands.
