| Meer info | "With an introduction by Theodore Roosevelt. One hundred and sixteen illustrations from photographs". "According to Peary, they reached the Pole on April 6 and remained there 30 hours to verify their position. ... Immediately after Peary's arrival, the Cook/Peary controversy broke out as a result of Cook's almost simultaneous announcement that he had reached the Pole one year earlier. Eventually, Cook's claim was rejected as fraudulent by most commentators, and Peary's priority was widely acknowledged. However, Peary's claim, too, has frequently been questioned, and controversy continues even now." |
