* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: Vaguely inspired by the 1917 Winnipeg-to-St.Paul-Dog-Race, with Will based on a combination of two or three racers: the young Campbell brothers, especially twenty-five-year-old Albert, whose father had died just two weeks before the race with his final words being an urge to his elder son to win, and twenty-six-year old racer Frederick Hartman, who particularly captured the imaginations of press and public by being a rank underdog who just wouldn't give up and gave the favourites a real run for their money. One aspect of the drama that the film very much leaves out is that there was a decidedly racist angle to some of the support or the latter. The Campbell brothers were part Cree and there was an open desire to see a white competitor, especially one with the kind of plucky pioneering spirit that Hartman represented, prevail and 'prove' white superiority in skill, strength and character. Hartman though was eventually outpaced and finished last - though finishing at all was still impressive and he achieved celebrity for his efforts. Albert Campbell.Campbell won the race.
