The Polar Publishing Co, 1911. Cloth. Good. 1st Edition; xx, 604pp, illustrated, frontispiece, plus 49 b/w photographic illustrations. Original brown pictorial cloth lettered in gilt. Cook's original purpose in exploring the region west of Greenland was ostensibly to organize a hunting expedition. Just north of Etah, Cook decided that conditions were good enough for an assault on the North Pole, and set out on his journey over the sea ice with two Eskimo companions, two sledges and 26 dogs. Cook is one of the most controversial figures in the history of polar exploration. His supporters claim that he was the hero of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, the first to climb Mt. McKinley, and the first to stand at the North Pole (allegedly only four days before Robert Peary). Others insist that Cook faked his claims to both Mt. McKinley and the North Pole, and continued a career of deceit by using the mail to defraud investors in a Texas oil promotion, for which he was convicted and spent five years… Read More

New York: Polar Publishing Co, 1911. First edition, large 8vo, pp. xx, [2], 604; frontispiece portrait of Cook, and 49 photographic illustrations on 31 plates, plus other illustrations. and a map in the text; hinges starting, else very good in original pictorial brown cloth. This is the narrative of Cook's supposed journey to the pole which he claims to have reached nearly a year before his rival, Robert E. Peary. Ironically, Cook had been the surgeon on Peary's Arctic expedition of 1891-92. Controversy surrounded this, as well as earlier expeditions of Cook's, and credit for reaching the pole was generally given to Peary, until he, too, was discredited. Credit is now generally given to the Minnesota insurance salesman, Ralph Plaisted (1927-2008) and his three companions, Walt Pederson, Gerry Pitzl and Jean-Luc Bombardier, who were the first to succeed in a surface traverse across the ice in a Ski-Doo snowmobile (a then-novel invention of Canada's Bombardier Company) to the North Pole on 19 April… Read More
