Description: Sled Dogs in America by Veryl Goodnight, Helen Hegener Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Sled Dogs in America: The Art of Veryl Goodnight is an in-depth look at the incredible paintings done by the Colorado artist who has elevated the history of sled dogs to an exhibit at the prestigious Western Spirit Museum in Scottsdale, Arizona. Running for nine months, from July, 2024 through April, 2025, the exhibit showcases not only the paintings done by Veryl Goodnight, but includes the history behind the paintings as researched by Alaskan historian Helen Hegener, author of the landmark book Sled Dogs in North America (Northern Light Media, 2023). This book details the history behind the paintings which comprise the exhibit. Beginning with the first inhabitants of North America, who were almost certainly accompanied by sled dogs, this book highlights the partnership between men and dogs down through the decades. Veryl Goodnights paintings vividly tell the stories of the intrepid sled dog teams which delivered the mail, the dogs who moved freight and supplies across endless winter trails, the Klondike Gold Rush dogs made famous in Jack Londons writings, and the dogs who even today carry park rangers and haul supplies in Denali National Park in Alaska. Also included are stories of the great dog teams of the Arctic explorers, the sled dog teams who served in the military, the sled dogs of the great fur trapping and trading empires, the life-saving Serum Run to Nome in 1925, and many more. Pairing the history in photographs and text with the incomparable beauty and historically accurate detail of her paintings, Veryl Goodnight brings a long overdue honor to the brave sled dogs whose role in our history cannot be forgotten. Author Biography Veryl Goodnight has dedicated her life to exploring the relationships between humans and animals through bronze sculptures and oil paintings. As a wildlife rehabilitator, horse owner, and dog lover, Goodnight shares her life with animals that often become models. Veryls extensive body of work includes over 200 unique sculptures, 20 monuments and countless paintings. Her award-winning art has been displayed throughout the country at museums, zoos, universities, presidential libraries, and in places as far-reaching as Beijing and Botswana. A large format hardcover book titled "NoTurning Back - The Art of Veryl Goodnight," was published in 2011 to correspond with a forty-year retrospective at the Gilcrease Museum inTulsa, Oklahoma. She was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 2016 for a lifetime of representing the American West in her art. Her best known monument, "The Day the Wall Came Down," is a larger-than-life bronze depicting five horses leaping over the crumbled Berlin Wall. There are two "sister castings" of this 7-ton monument - one outside the Allied Museum in Berlin, Germany and one at the Presidential Library in College Station, Texas. A Colorado native, Veryls career started as a wildlife painter in the early 1970s. She began sculpting to educate herself about anatomy. Sculpture then dominated her career throughout the late 1900s while she and her husband, Roger Brooks, lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Their 2006 move back to Colorado fulfilled a lifetime desire to live in the mountains. Their property is situated between 11,900 Helmet Peak and Mesa Verde National Park. The Middle Mancos River, complete with intermittent resident beaver, creates a natural wildlife preserve and constant inspiration. The spectacular surroundings expedited Veryls return to oil painting. Sled Dog races in the surrounding San Juan National Forest opened a new chapter in Veryl Goodnights five decades long career. Helen Hegener founded Northern Light Media in 2007 and has published many nonfiction books about the history of Alaska, producing not only more than two dozen books of her own, but also publishing books by many other writers. In an article for the Anchorage Daily News, January 5, 2024, historian and author David A. James wrote, "Hegeners work delves into the building of the Alaska Railroad, the Depression-era establishment of the Matanuska Valley Colony, the states historic roadhouses, and, most prominently, sled dogs and the mushers who work with them. Shes arguably Alaskas foremost chronicler of the sports history, having written books about the Iditarod, Yukon Quest, All Alaska Sweepstakes, and more."
