A detailed and lavishly illustrated account by an American explorer determined to conquer Greenland. Robert Edwin Peary called himself the “Delineator of Greenland” and penetrated the northernmost part of the landmass. Peary's wife Josephine came with him, and their daughter Marie became famous worldwide as "Snow Baby" after she was born at a northern base camp. Peary was also accompanied by Matthew Alexander Henson, a skilled jack-of-all-trades whom Perry initially hired as a valet. Henson later published his own memoir, A Negro Explorer at the North Pole.
