Balto: The Canine Hero

Balto: The Canine Hero

Balto the Siberian Husky is remembered for leading a team of sled dogs to deliver medicine that saved the town of Nome, Alaska from a deadly epidemic. He became a national hero, and his photo was on the front page of every newspaper in the country. A statue was erected in his honor in Central Park in 1925, and it is still one of the most beloved tourist attractions today. Many of you may have grown up watching the 1995 animated film by Universal Pictures, and that may be the extent of what you know about Balto. But the true story is far more dramatic than what you ever learned from cartoons and children’s books. On today’s Biographics, we bring you the story of Balto, the canine hero. →Subscribe for new videos every Monday and Thursday! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1] Visit our companion website for more: http://biographics.org [http://biographics.org] Credits: Host - Simon Whistler Author - Shannon Quinn Producer - Jennifer Da Silva Executive Producer - Shell Harris Business inquiries to biographics.email@gmail.com Other Biographics Videos: Napoleon Bonaparte: The Strategic Genius https://youtu.be/7wXauVk7DXs [https://youtu.be/7wXauVk7DXs] Toussaint L’Ouverture: the Black Napoleon who Freed Haiti’s Slaves https://youtu.be/bCKND0cF9f8 [https://youtu.be/bCKND0cF9f8] Source/Further reading: https://www.cdc.gov/about/24-7/savinglives/diphtheria/index.html [https://www.cdc.gov/about/24-7/savinglives/diphtheria/index.html] https://books.google.com/books?id=JsOWKVnhSiAC&lpg=PP1&dq=The%20Cruelest%20Miles&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=Kaasen%20&f=false [https://books.google.com/books?id=JsOWKVnhSiAC&lpg=PP1&dq=The%20Cruelest%20Miles&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=Kaasen%20&f=false] https://www.cmnh.org/balto [https://www.cmnh.org/balto] https://books.google.com/books?id=xsWHAwAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&dq=balto&pg=PT20#v=onepage&q=gold&f=false [https://books.google.com/books?id=xsWHAwAAQBAJ&lpg=PP1&dq=balto&pg=PT20#v=onepage&q=gold&f=false] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5cpLyErs5I [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5cpLyErs5I] https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/central-park/monuments/75 [https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/central-park/monuments/75] Learn more about your ad choices.

Bob Marley: Legend of Reggae

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” Those were the sentiments of Bob Marley, a man who believed that music had the power to bring us all closer together in peace and unity. Even if you are not a fan of reggae, you still know who Bob Marley was and chances are that you still like a few of his songs. Marley took a new and innovative sound that was mostly confined to the concert halls and radio waves of Jamaica and used it to create music that became not only international but timeless.
