The movie Iron Will, a fictionalized account of a 1917 dogsled race from Winnipeg to St. Paul, opens nationwide. Albert Campbell, a Métis man from Le Pas, Manitoba, won the real race, which was part of St. Paul's Winter Carnival. The first written account of any dogsled race detailed a trip from Winnipeg to St. Paul in the 1850s.
