Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Matthew Henson's memoir recounts his crucial yet long-overlooked role in Robert Peary's Arctic expeditions, culminating in their 1909 journey to the North Pole. Henson describes the extreme physical hardships of polar travel-blizzards, ice floes, starvation threats-and highlights his deep skills as a navigator, craftsman, and dog-sled driver. He also emphasizes his close relationship with the Inuit, whose knowledge made the expedition possible. Throughout the book, Henson reflects on the racial prejudice that kept his achievements from being fully recognized, offering both a gripping adventure narrative and a powerful testament to resilience and expertise.
