Battle of Ink And Ice

by Darrell Hartman

Robert Peary is generally acknowledged to be the first explorer to reach the North Pole, but Frederick Cook also laid claim to this achievement. In this true story of the mystery surrounding the competing claims, both men were reported in headlines of competing New York newspapers as having achieved this honor. Along with vivid portrayals of Arctic explorers, the book also covers the intense rivalry between the owners of The New York Times and the New York Herald.
