Fort Worth Jury Rules on Cook North Pole Fraud Trial
On November 24, 1923 a Fort Worth jury convicted Dr Frederick Albert Cook in a federal mail fraud case tied to the Petroleum Producers Association promoters. Once a rival to Peary for polar fame Cook faced harsh sentences, while his post trial life included a Texas oil venture, a paroled imprisonment, and a 1940 presidential pardon, ending with his controversial legacy in Arctic history.
