Subject: The controversy lives on
Subject: The controversy lives on
It's nearly certain Robert E. Peary, who was missing eight of his 10 toes (along with his assistant Matthew Henson), never got near the North Pole. But it's likely that Dr. Frederick Cook (and his Eskimo companions) probably was first at or near 90 degrees North, although many still disagree. No matter, this book casts doubt on several prevailing theories and will likly gore your favorite ox. This volume remains very readable among the numerous books on the still unresolved polar controversy.
