Peary says Cook could not reach pole with flawed sledge
Commander Peary in Portland asserts Dr. Cook failed to reach the North Pole with an unsuitable sledge and inadequate equipment. He claims Cook left priceless records and a flag in Etah with a stranger, while Whitney did not retrieve them as expected. Peary defends his own methods and gear and disputes Cook’s claims.
