by Henson, Matthew; Robert E. Peary [Foreword]; Booker T. Washington [Introduction]
New York: Fredrick A. Stokes Company, 1912. First Edition. Near Fine. First edition. Good only due to a number of stains on cloth, a few bumps, a little bowing, and some wear. Small light marginal stain to last few dozen pages, a few foxed pages early on, offsetting to two facing pages. A memoir by one of the six men on the 1908-09 Peary expedition that was believed to have been the first to reach the geographic North Pole.
