About This Item
New York: Doubleday, Page, 1907. First Edition. Very minor rubbing; tiny tear at the edge of the frontispiece; nearly a fine copy. Inscribed by Peary on the title page. This expedition was truly a near thing; the old saw of “close but no cigar” fits the situation. Peary successfully trekked to the North Pole (a claim often disputed) two years later.
