Cook, Peary and the North Pole
Peary, Cook and the North Pole Presented in PDF format on one DATA CD is this ultimate compilation of 18 full-length, profusely illustrated books which complement the collection's gem ... an EXTENSIVE SELECTION of digitized newspaper clippings covering the events claiming the Discovery of the North Pole by Dr Cook, then by Commodore Peary ... and possibly by neither of them.
History Discs has amassed 169 pages of newspaper clippings published from September 1909 to November 1910, chronicling the enormous controversy surrounding these men's polar expeditions. The events were played out for a hungry public on a daily basis in all the major newspapers of the day.
In addition to the main clippings you will receive a separate digitized 12-page broadsheet collection featuring Dr Cook's thrilling story of his dash to the North Pole, published in newspapers in October 1909. It is an account he apparently wrote while held captive by ice and weather in the Arctic wilderness. [IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS!
The source material for these news clippings is printed on newsprint and is more than 100 years old. This means that on rare occasions an area of a clipping may be difficult to read. Generally we don't include low-quality news clippings unless we feel the content may well arouse the curiosity of our readers.] A further 18 books written by Dr Cook, Commodore Peary and their fellow explorers complete this comprehensive collection. Digitzed books in this data cd collection are in PDF format; titles are as follows:
