Admiral Robert Peary: Pennsylvania to the North Pole.
DEC 16 2022 · 12:00
Robert Peary was born in Cresson Pennsylvania. Peary was obsessed with artic exploration and finding the North Pole. He grew up in a time when popular culture was fixated on arctic exploration, the same way the 20th century was fascinated by space exploration. The first mention of Santa Claus was also published during this time. Was Peary/Henson the first to reach the North Pole or was it the later convicted felon (fraud) Frederick Cook? All music by me.
