Shackleton Hero Of The Antarctic Exploration
Lieutenant Ernest Shackleton, England’s celebrated Antarctic explorer, returns to a cheering Britain after pushing farther south than any before. His voyage, aboard Nimrod, began July 1907, with grueling conditions and depots across the polar trek, and ended with insights on a southern pole plateau 20,000 feet high. Beatrice Thaw, heiress and social figure, marries Marquis Francesco Theodoli amid Pittsb urgh ties. President Taft opens 2 million acres for settlement in reservations Dover d’Alcon, Spokane, and Pistheid with drawings set for July 16 to August 5, 1909.
