Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
On a cold, gusty night in Circle City, Alaska, Sammy Day walks into Nagle's Bar. He is only twenty-two, but he has been on his own for ten years. He has worked cattle from Montana to Chihuahua, but a little "accident" at a poker table in Montana sent him on a forced march to Alaska to avoid a posse. He is down to his last 50.Because of his tenacity in the fight, Sammy is offered a job by the peculiar Bill the Dogman, who lives in a remote region beyond Circle City and breeds sled dogs. The Dogman had taken on several workers over the years, but none of them could handle the ordeal and ended up fleeing Alaska. Despite warnings that he would never survive working for the Dogman, Sammy makes a bargain with Goldie that if he can stick with the Dogman job for a year and a day, she will marry him. She agrees and Sammy takes the job. For Sammy it is the beginning of an ordeal he comes to doubt he will ever survive, much less make good on his wager with Goldie Mahan.
"Sammy Day takes a job with Bill the Dogman, a peculiar man who breeds sled dogs, despite warnings that he could never survive. If he makes it a year and a day, Goldie Mahan will marry him. After the first day he begins to doubt if he will survive, but he is too stubborn to quit"-- Provided by publisher.
