Leonard Seppala
by Trey
Leonard Seppala was in the 1925 Serum Run to Nome. With the famous Togo as his lead dog, Seppala carried the serum over Norton Sound in 30 degrees below zero weather across uncertain ice. Carrying the medicine 91 miles, he turned it over to Charlie Olson in Golovin. In all 260 miles were covered by Seppala and Togo. Leonard Seppala had Togo custom mounted after he died, and he can be seen in Wasilla, Alaska at the Idita rod ® headquarters.
