Donald Baxter MacMillan, 1874-1970 This photo was possibly taken right before he left for his 1913 Greenland exhibition, the first one that he led. How Stuff Works page - history.howstuffworks.com/polar-history/d-b-macmillan.htm From the thumbnail it looked a little like he was wearing a chicken suit.

Herschel Clifford Parker (b. 1867) was a physics professor at Columbia University, and a founding member of the Explorers Club: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herschel_Clifford_Parker www.diggles.com/ec/ECAbout.html library.osu.edu/projects/frederick-cook/expeditions4.html He married Evelyn Naegele (b. c1886) in spring 1911; they honeymooned in Alaska. She asked the Brooklyn court to grant a divorce in 1925, citing abandonment and failure to support (he'd been gone for five years at that point): cdsun.library.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/cornell?a=d&d=CDS19... Evelyn Naegele Parker remarried to a Lewe Sessions: genforum.genealogy.com/sessions/messages/785.html Her father was artist Charles Frederick Naegele; her maternal grandfather was Major Edwin Jacob Stivers, a Civil War veteran. www.askart.com/askart/n/charles_frederick_naegele/charles... civilwargazette.wordpress.com/2009/10/17/field-desk-of-us...

Excellent info Penny, thanks. Love the quote from the article about the divorce proceedings, "I am tired of looking after a wife and family, a man with my genius owes himself to mankind in general and cannot be tied down by family routine". Evelyn may have been better off without him I'm guessing...

Ha! I was thinking the same thing about that link. (I happen to be married to a physicist, so it caught my eye.)
