Whitney backs Cook in pole controversy as he weighs reasons
Harry Whitney of New Haven, a big game hunter, argues Cook found the Pole and Peary did as well. He says Cook’s story seems truthful, notes Cook’s absence of written records, and recalls Pearl Harbor era Arctic travel dangers. Whitney, en route to Boston via Sydney, cites Peary’s commands to Murphy and Eskimo accounts of pressure from Peary men.
