PEARY, Robert E. The North Pole. With an Introduction by Theodore Roosevelt. London: Hodder and Stoughton. 1910.

Royal 8vo. Original green cloth, gold medallion to upper board, image of polar bear blocked in white to lower cover, head of polar bear blocked in white to spine, lettered in gilt to upper cover and spine; pp. xii, 326; four photogravures including portrait frontispiece, 112 black and white photographic plates, large folding colour map; binding very lightly rubbed, occasional light spotting, mainly marginal, previous owner's inscription to front-pastedown, a very good copy.

First UK edition. Following earlier attempts, Robert Peary succeeded in reaching the North Pole on 6th April 1909. Immediately after his return, controversy broke out due to Frederick Cook's announcement, just 4 days before Peary's, of his own attainment of the Pole on 23rd September 1908. The North Pole contains no hint of the ensuing - and often acrimonious - debate concerning these competing claims. At the time, Peary came to be regarded as offering the surer claim. Cook's own published account, My Attainment of the Pole, did not appear until 1911 and inevitably appears more 'embattled' than does Peary's relatively straightforward account.

Ribbing & AComfortable Fit
I stumbled onto this brand as the sizes & sizing were very accurate. The ribbed feature is a blessing as it masks, hides, conceals stains & or body imperfections. I'm a 63 year old grandpa who greets outside in the Midwest at church 50 weeks a year. The warmth, the longer sleeve's and the high & roll up, roll down turtle neck is super cozy. The value is, it looks more expensive than it actually was, I have already ordered another in black. I am 5'8 298# with a 63 inch chest 48 inch waist fits with room to spare.

Very nice turtleneck
I bought this for my husband as a Christmas present. He loves it! He says it fits well, not to heavy and is very comfortable.

Stain on collar
I was disappointed to see this stain on the collar. The fit is great & feels heavy & well made. Not sure why it would be packaged with a stain on it & since it’s white it’s even more noticeable

Material and stitching so it doesn't look cheap.
Good quality for the price. Not wool. It meets my needs. I don't wear sweaters that often so buying a pricey one makes no sense. These look great when they are new.
