About the author
Robert E. Peary (1856–1920) was an American explorer best known for leading several expeditions to the Arctic. He devoted himself to the pursuit of the North Pole and in 1909 claimed to have reached it—a claim that had a profound influence on the history of exploration and has long been debated. Two of his works are included here: The North Pole, an account of his polar journey, and The Mentor: The Conquest of the Poles, Serial No. 37. His writing centers on his firsthand polar experiences and observations, combining documentary detail with an accessible, popular-science tone that offers general readers a direct window into Arctic exploration. Public information on his early life and education is limited, so no speculation is made here.
