NORTHWARD OVER THE GREAT ICE, - A narrative of life & work along the shores & interior Icecap of Northern Greenland in the years 1886, and 1891-97, Robert Peary, Methuen's Colonial Library, 1898,Two volumes, original red cloth, gilt titles, sl scuffed on spines, one binding sl cracking, fold-out maps, 800 B&W plates, Peary's first of three books written about his expeditions to reach the North Pole. These volumes cover three of eight trips through Greenland toward the North Pole, including the controversial 'Bringing home of the "Saviksue," or Great Cape-York Meteorites.' Despite questionable gaps in the evidence supporting Peary's North Pole claim, his successive furthest north records and adventurous spirit made the American explorer a hero in the United States. $600
