1913. Being the record of the expedition that first reached the
Boreal Center, 1907 to 1909. With the final summary of the Polar
Controversy. This narrative has been prepared as a general outline
of my conquest of the North Pole. In it the scientific data, the
observations, every phase of the pioneer work with its drain of
human energy has been presented in its proper relation to a strange
cycle of events. The camera has been used whenever possible to
illustrate the progress of the expedition as well as the wonders
and mysteries of the Arctic wilds. Herein, with due afterthought
and the better perspective afforded by time, the rough field notes,
the disconnected daily tabulations and the records of instrumental
observations, every fact, every optical and mental impression, has
been reexamined and rearranged to make a concise record of
successive stages of progress to the boreal center. If I have thus
worked out an understandable panorama of our environment, then the
mission of this book has served its purpose.
