Trade paperback edition published by Tarcher-St.Martin's. On April 6th, 1909 Admiral Robery Peary became the first man to reach the North Pole. This biography lays out how Peary, with single-minded ferocity, achieved his life-long dream. It also focuses on the controversy that surrounded him including his Inuit relatives, and his relationship with his assistant Matthew Henson.
362 pages with Index, Notes and a section of photos. This is not a remainder, not a library copy. There is one light crease mark on the spine, though there are no creases to the cover. No writing on the text, no former ownership marks. A few dots of light foxing to the edges of the text block. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory, not a stock photo.

Recently, the USPS has added tracking to Media Mail , which has been a great addition to this service.If you do choose to have your order shipped "Expedited", my shipping cost may seem higher than expected. Some of our books are large format hardcovers that can cost quite a bit when shipped expedited. So I would like to make sure that I can cover the cost upfront. However, if the actual cost of expedited shipping is less than the charge, I will refund the difference!
