New York: De Vinne Press for the Century Co, 1910. Large octavo. 68 photographic plates. Signed by the author on the title. Later half green crushed morocco and period orange cloth covered boards, spine with raised bands in six compartments, endpapers renewed. One of 150 numbered large paper copies signed by Whitney: an important account of life in northern Greenland from an eyewitness to Peary's race to the pole. Harry Whitney (1873-1936) was a wealthy American sportsman, a descendant of the Eli Whitney family of New Haven, Connecticut (not to be confused with his contemporary, sportsman and donor of Yale's gymnasium Harry Payne Whitney). Whitney first travelled to the far northern Arctic for sport in 1908-09, on the ship carrying Robert Peary's expedition to the North Pole in the spring of 1908. While Peary and his rival Frederick Cook assaulted the Pole, Whitney hunted musk ox, polar bears, walrus, and other arctic game, and wintered over with the Inuit. In the spring of 1909 he encountered Frederick Cook, who claimed to have reached the Pole, and left some luggage in Whitney's care as he raced south to report his triumph. When Peary arrived later in the summer, he offered Whitney a ride home, but refused to bring Cook's luggage. Whitney thus became embroiled in the controversy over who achieved the Pole first, since Cook claimed his proofs were in the baggage. This deluxe edition, limited to 150 numbered copies on special paper, this being copy number 5, is rare.
