Pearys Evidence Against Dr Cook North Pole Claim
The 1908 1909 Peary Eskimo testimony disputes Dr Cook reaching the North Pole. Eskimo boys I took-a-shoe and Ab-pe-lah, guided by Panikpah, map the route and deny crossing open water or making caches, arguing Cook could not have reached the Pole with the supplied sledges and dogs.
