Charlie Biederman (November 11, 1918 – February 22, 1995) was a musher in Alaska best known for being the last surviving dog sled mail carrier in the United States.
From an early age, he assisted his father and brother in their winter deliveries of the mail to isolated cabins in central Alaska.
In winter, the family lived in Eagle and ran the mail route between that town and Circle, another small settlement approximately 158 miles (254 km) downriver.
In the summer, the family lived at their Yukon River cabin, harvesting fish for subsistence and boarding the dogs of fellow mushers.
[6] In January 1995, he donated the mail-delivery sled he used to the National Postal Museum in Washington, D.C., where it hangs today.
