About this book

Frederick A. Cook gives his own account of the expedition of 1907 to 1909 in which he claimed to have reached the North Pole. Robert Peary announced a rival claim, and the two men's cases were argued in the press and before learned bodies for years. This edition adds a summary of that dispute, written in Cook's favour, and a dedication to the pathfinders, among them the Indians who gave explorers pemmican and snowshoes and the Eskimos who gave them the sled. Most historians have not accepted Cook's claim.
