Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The book was well written, often over-written in the matter of detail, in the exquisite prose of the day. It is not surprising however since that very attention to detail before, during and after every activity conducted by the Peary Arctic Club is the most obvious factor which contributed to the success of the entire mission.
The photos of the men, dog teams and sleighs added a clear understanding of the difficulty of the trek to the North Pole.
The most obvious omission was the lack of photos of the ship which was to carry them to, through, and home from the arctic experience.
The book contained only one photo of the ship Roosevelt -- I would liked to have seen photos of it at different stages throughout the expedition. This would have added more clarity and interest to the story.
