- ... that Andrew Bahr drove a herd of 3,000 reindeer from Nome, Alaska to Reindeer Station, earning the nickname "The Arctic Moses"? Source: "After three years on the trail, only two thousand reindeer were still with the herd. Hundreds had frozen to death, hundreds more bolted and were never recovered, and countless others were weakened by insects and devoured by wolves. The drive was years behind schedule, and all Bahr, who by now had earned the nickname “The Arctic Moses,” could tell the Lomens and the Canadian officials was that he was “making haste slowly.”" [1]

Overall: 
There are a few slight matches, but nothing too major. @Awmcphee: Nice work on this page. The only small issue is there are a few sentences that paraphrase somewhat closely. Otherwise this is good to go. Epicgenius (talk) 03:08, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for your patience. I just cut the score down from 12.5% to 7.4%. Awmcphee (talk) 01:23, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
No problem. I've looked at the nomination again, and I've manually changed some phrases that matched a bit closely. Feel free to refine further if these were not correct interpretations. This is good to go now. Epicgenius (talk) 18:57, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
