Two Sides of the Mount McKinley Controversy
West Point adjutant Captain Joseph H Herron defends Dr Cook against claims he did not scale Mount McKinley. He recalls guiding Cook, recounts maps and observations, and asserts Cook's statements were supported by evidence though critics dispute the ascent. Fred Printz and Ed Barden challenge Cook claiming no ascent and misrepresented views from nearby peaks.
North Pole navigation claims by Cook debated by scientists
Prof Doolittle and Dr Wright of Stanford and Lick Observatory weigh how Cook could have found the pole using sextant and chronometer. They cite sun altitude observations, nautical almanac figures, and measurement errors to argue that Cook’s feat was feasible with standard instruments and careful timing.
