On April 9, 1909, Commander Robert Peary became the first person to reach the North Pole. As immense as his achievement was, it can only be appreciated by studying it as the climax of an enormous struggle, extending over centuries, for the mastery of the Arctic. Here, edited and condensed with modern readers in mind, is Professor Charles F. Hornes classic account of the quest for the North.
