Peary and Cook clash over polar claims and wealth
The article contrasts Admiral Peary’s Navy-backed support for his Arctic claim with Dr. Cook’s European recognition. It details Danish praise including a gold medal from the Royal Geographical Society and a Copenhagen honorary doctorate, while recounting Peary’s Arctic hardships, wife Mrs. Peary’s endurance, and his real estate holdings along the Maine coast. It also touches on Russian education decline and a medical hypnosis case unrelated to the polar dispute.
