Description

ROBERT E. PEARY. Partly Printed DS: "R.E. Peary", 8x3½. No place, no date. Navy Officer Payroll form, not filled in. Excerpt from U.S. Navy Regulations, 1913, Article 4385, regarding the pay of officers printed on verso. Robert Edwin Peary (1856-1920) became a Civil Engineer in the U.S. Navy in 1881, and in that capacity explored Greenland in 1886 on the first of his seven polar expeditions. On July 17, 1908, after three unsuccessful attempts to reach the North Pole, he set out on another polar expedition. On April 6, 1909, he and a small party, including his assistant, Matthew Henson, and four Inuit, became the first to reach the North Pole. Although another American, Frederick A. Cook, had claimed to have reached the Pole five days later, Cook's claim was later refuted. In 1911, the year he retired from the Navy with the rank of Rear Admiral, Congress officially recognized Peary's achievement. Lightly creased. Folds, not at signature. Ink smudged at signature. Light show through of print on verso. Overall, fine condition.
