Description

""A Tenderfoot With Peary"" is a memoir written by George Borup, who accompanied Robert Peary on his expedition to the North Pole in 1908-1909. Borup was not an experienced explorer, and his account provides a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of the journey. The book includes detailed descriptions of the harsh Arctic environment, encounters with indigenous peoples, and the scientific experiments conducted by the expedition. Borup also writes about his personal experiences, including his struggles with homesickness and his admiration for Peary's leadership. Overall, ""A Tenderfoot With Peary"" offers a fascinating glimpse into one of the most famous Arctic expeditions of all time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
