"There are many that consider this modest volume the high point of twentieth century polar exploration. It also holds a place of honour in the literature of black studies. Henson was a key member of Peary's expedition and his perceptive and down to earth chronicle is certainly one of the most readable of the genre. It drips with enthusiasm." Matt's book is a classic! I had to pay $650 for this copy.The asking price was $750 but I asked for a discount! While it looks to be almost new, in fact I had to restore the white lettering with a digital airbrush. It took over 3 hours. Henson, Matthew A.: A Negro Explorer at the North Pole ; New York: Frederick A. Stokes, 1912. 1st edition, Very good, Octavo, A solid copy of one of the high points of exploration literature. $750.00 |
