Photograph of the North Pole made by Frederick A. Cook, as he asserts (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Cook but he never reached the north pole

• dory (LOC SER) said:

  Hi Gluecrue. There was indeed much controversy in his day as to whether Frederick Cook was the first person to reach the North Pole, or in fact did at all. The discussion surrounding Cook's activities (and Robert Peary, another Arctic explorer claiming to have reached the Pole) was widely covered by the newspapers during this time, and, if you're interested, can be explored further by searching for these men in the Chronicling America web site. See chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85052114/1909-09-18/ed-... for an example of contemporary coverage of the controversy.
