"Robert Edwin Peary (May 6, 1856 – February 20, 1920) was an American explorer who claimed to have been the first person, on April 6, 1909, to reach the geographic North Pole." From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Peary Herbert Lawrence Bridgman was an organizer of the expedition and Secretary of the Peary Arctic Club. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Lawrence_Bridgman and NYT article of September 17, 1909 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9802EED91F31E733A...
