Peary accuses Cook Whitney conspiracy on pole claim
Commander Peary and General Hubbard prepare a statement alleging Cook did not reach the pole. They cite Eskimo testimonies supporting Peary’s view, cite missing records, dispute Cook’s route and gear, and question the instruments Whitney held at Etah as a possible scheme.
Why Peary Questions Cook’s Polar Discovery
Peary argues Cook did not copy his cairn records at Cape Thomas Hubbard and questions the authenticity of Cook’s equipment and mileage claims. He notes his own flag sewn in his undershirt, a fragile sledge at Etah, and iron breakproof gear, contrasting Cook’s equipment and travel of 25 12 degrees latitude in a single season with his best 13 degrees.
