Peary discovers the North Pole...



Item # 629625

September 08, 1909

THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, Georgia, September 8, 1909

* Robert Peary finds the North Pole

The front page has a nice account on the finding of the North Pole by Robert E. Peary, with one column headlines that include: "ON TOP OF WORLD PEARY STOOD BEFORE COOK", "In Dispatch Published in London he Claims Priority of Discovery" and more (see photos).

You get the complete 12 page newspaper with a small amount of margin chipping, mostly along the spine. It is otherwise in good condition. Should be handled with care.
