So much fun to read. Had no idea of any of this. Was shocked (even still) of how Indigenous and Black figures were treated by these almost mythical explorers for history, specifically Peary. In the end, I think we need to draw our own conclusions, and I can shady on them all!

A good mix of the American history of newspaper scoops and rich guys racing to useless places.
