London, Hodder & Stoughton, 1910. Large 4to.

Bartlett. - The North Pole and the Cook-Peary controversy. Robert Edwin Peary (1856 - 1920) was an American explorer and officer in the United States Navy who made several expeditions to the Arctic in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for, in April 1909, leading an expedition that claimed to be the first to have reached the geographic North Pole. Peary's claim was widely debated along with a competing claim made by Frederick Cook. The narrative of Peary's expedition of 1908-1910 contains its organization, personnel, the voyage, the Roosevelt's passage through the ice of Smith Sound-Robeson Channel and winter quarters at Camp Jesup, Cape Sheridan, north Ellesmere Island. - A fine copy. Arctic Bibl. 13230; Stam, Books on ice, p.75; Howgego III, p.479-483. Seller Inventory # 36767

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Facsimile Reprint. From the prestigiously-bound Time-Life series "Classics of Exploration". A c.1985 Facsimile reprint of the First Edition of 1910, preserving the historical authenticity including typographical errors and printing irregularities. Hardback in coarse grained mottled brown leather boards (Time-Life actually state that these bindings are Leather, but they look more like 'leatherette' to me - but presumably the publishers know what they are talking about? ) with Bright Red/Gilt titling/decoration to the front cover and spine. The front cover has a double red/gilt border, 6 raised bands on the spine with gilt titles and or decoration in the intervening red panels. Silk headbands and a yellow-gold ribbon bookmark. As New/No Jacket. All page fore-edges bright Gilt. This is a Lovely Facsimile reprint. NO Inscriptions or Marks. Marbled endpapers. (xii) + 326 pp. With 116 illustrations from Photographs in Black and White - and a large fold our coloured Map of 'The Arctic Regions - showing Commander Peary's route to the North Pole' at the end. Complete with the loose leaf 'details of the book' and the original 'Ex Libris' bookplate, which has been stuck on the front pastedown. But left blank - no previous owner's name in. . I currently have many other Travel and Exploration books in a uniform binding in the same series - please enquire if interested. All in a similar condition. An Excellent Very Clean, Tight and Bright 'As New' copy. Looks unread. 'The American explorer Commander Robert Edwin Peary, USN, (1856-1920) is famous for his discovery of the North Pole; he was one of the last and greatest of the dog team-and-sledge polar explorers. In July 1908 Peary embarked on what he knew would be his last polar attempt. Accompanied by able assistants, including the Negro Matthew Henson, and well-equipped, well-trained Eskimos, Peary led a party of 24 men, 19 sledges, and 133 dogs northward from Cape Columbia. His plan called for various support parties to break the trail and carry additional supplies for the main party of six, which alone would cover the last few miles to the pole. On April 1, near the 88th parallel, the final support party turned back, and Peary, Henson, and four Eskimos went on, reaching 90°N on April 6, 1909. Peary ." I have nailed the stars and stripes to the North Pole". ; Classics of Exploration; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall. Seller Inventory # 120225
