Baldy of Nome is a classic children's novel by Esther Birdsall Darling. The story is set in the harsh and unforgiving terrain of Alaska during the gold rush era. The protagonist of the story is a young sled dog named Baldy, who is owned by a kind and gentle man named John. Baldy is a loyal and hardworking dog who loves nothing more than pulling John's sled across the frozen tundra.However, Baldy's peaceful life is disrupted when a group of ruthless gold miners arrive in town. They are in desperate need of sled dogs to help them transport their equipment and supplies to the gold fields. John is offered a large sum of money for Baldy, but he refuses to sell his beloved dog.The miners, however, are not willing to take no for an answer and they resort to underhanded tactics to get their hands on Baldy. They steal the dog and take him away to work in the gold fields. Baldy is forced to endure terrible conditions and mistreatment at the hands of his new owners.Despite the hardships he faces, Baldy remains determined to escape and return to John. With the help of some kind-hearted humans and other sled dogs, Baldy makes a daring escape and embarks on a perilous journey back to Nome.Baldy of Nome is a heartwarming tale of loyalty, perseverance, and the unbreakable bond between a dog and his owner. It is a timeless classic that will be enjoyed by readers of all ages.At all events, Tom had resented the entrance of the Eskimo, Wolf, into the Kennel; and never failed, when Scotty was not about, to manifest an enmity that would have told a civilized dog not to attempt any liberties with him. But Wolf was only an ignorant puppy, taken from a native igloo, where all of the dogs and all of the family lived in happy harmony; and so, one day when he was particularly joyous, he nipped, in a spirit of mischief, the end of Tom's wagging stump of a tail. Tom wheeled instantly, his hair bristling and his jaws apart, but the timely arrival of Matt made further demonstration impossible; and Tom's instinctive dislike for Wolf grew into an obsession after that direct and personal insult.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
