    • Description

      Picture dated probably 1909 of US Admiral and explorer Robert Edwin Peary (1856-1920), born in Cresson Springs, PA. Peary made eight Arctic voyages to the Greenland coast in 1891-2, arriving on the East coast by crossing the ice. In 1909 he led the first expedition to the North Pole, though his achievement was disputed by his fellow-explorer Frederick Cook, who claimed to have reached the Pole in 1908, a claim generally discredited.
