FITCHBURG DAILY SENTINEL, Massachusetts, a five issue set with dates Sept. 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 1909
* Explorers Frederick Cook & Robert Peary
* The discovery of the North Pole controversy
There was some controversy at the time concerning who really reached the North Pole first, Frederick Cook, or Robert Peary. This set of issues reports on that controversy with heads as seen in the photos.
Each issue is complete in 10 pages, light even toning, perhaps partially loose at the spine. Generally nice but they should be handled carefully.
