Synopsis: |
The accounts of Cook and Peary's expeditions combined. On September 1, 1909, the civilized world received word through the public press that Dr Frederick A. Cook had discovered the North Pole on April 21, 1908. Only four days later Commander Robert E. Peary announced that he had arrived at the North Pole on April 6, 1909. "Finding the North Pole" presents both Cook's own story of his discovery and the story of Commander Peary's discovery, together with the record of former Arctic expeditions. Their stories are inspiring examples of human spirit and perseverance. Historians and explorers alike should find this book to be full of valuable lessons, information and entertainment. |
