Excerpt from Andree at the North Pole: With Details of His Fate The idea of reaching the North Pole in a balloon occurred to Andree in l882 3, while he was spend ing the winter in Spitzbergen as a member of a scientific expedition. This idea grew upon him during years of subsequent toil and study, in the course of which a number of notable aerial voyages gave him the necessary training and experience, especially that of the lgth of October, 1893, when he was carried by a westerly wind across the Baltic to Finland, and that of the 29th of November, 1894, when he was carried three hundred miles across the Baltic from Gothenburg to the Island of Gothland.

Excerpt from The North Pole: Its Discovery in 1909 Under the Auspices of the Peary Arctic Club Some years ago I met at a dinner in Washington the famous Norwegian arctic explorer, Nansen, himself one of the heroes of polar adventure; and he remarked to me, "Peary is your best man; in fact I think he is on the whole the best of the men now trying to reach the Pole, and there is a good chance that he will be the one to succeed." I cannot give the exact words; but they were to the above effect; and they made a strong impression on me. I thought of them when in the summer of 1908 I, as President of the United States, went aboard Peary's ship to bid him Godspeed on the eve of what proved to be his final effort to reach the Pole. A year later, when I was camped on the northern foothills of Mt. Kenia, directly under the equator, I received by a native runner the news that he had succeeded, and that thanks to him the discovery of the North Pole was to go on the honor roll of those feats in which we take a peculiar pride because they have been performed by our fellow countrymen. Probably few outsiders realize the well-nigh incredible toil and hardship entailed in such an achievement as Peary's; and fewer still understand how many years of careful training and preparation there must be before the feat can be even attempted with any chance of success. A "dash for the pole" can be successful only if there have been many preliminary years of painstaking, patient toil.

Excerpt from Finding the North Pole: Commander Peary's Discovery, April 6, 1909 and Cook's Own Story of His Claim The arguments against the winter night march were as fol lows: That we could not procure fresh water to drink by melting the snows with our alcohol lamps because the snow where we found it in the winter season was saturated with salt; the grinding and pulverizing of the salt-water hummocks, by the wind-driven snow acting as a sand blast, mixed the salt ice with the snow. As a point to remember I will here state the fact that during the whole of the drift of the jeannette, twenty-two months, we were never able to procure one pound of fresh-water snow, not even out of the ship's tops, that was fresh enough when melted to make potable water. Every ounce of water used in the Jeannette for drinking purposes was distilled. To travel in the Arctic darkness heretofore had always seemed impossible because of the inability to see how to go, or follow a compass course.

Excerpt from First at the North Pole or Two Boys in the Arctic Circle In penning this volume I have had a twofold purpose in mind: the first to show what pure grit and determination can do under the most trying of circumstances, and the second to give my readers an insight into Esquimaux life and habits, and to relate what great explorers like Franklin, Kane, Hall, delong, Nansen, Cook, and Peary have done to open up this weird and mysterious portion of our globe.

Excerpt from The Great White North: The Story of Polar Exploration From the Earliest Times to the Discovery of the Pole The material for this book has been gathered from the rich storehouse of Arctic Literature. The chief labour of its composition lay in elimination rather than construction. The great field I have endeavoured to present can hardly be brought with justice to the narrow bounds of a single cover, but I have conscientiously endeavoured to bring to the readers mind an accurate record of brilliant deeds that go to make the history of the far North, and have let the explorers themselves tell the story of how these deeds have been accomplished. Between the lines of their simple language describing stern facts or desperate realities, one reads the character and temperament of the adventurer; one gathers lessons of patience, self-sacrifice, and endurance unsurpassed in the history of mankind, and perhaps appreciates, for the first time, the splendid fibre of which he is made. Stripped of the conventions and luxuries of civilized life, he plunges into the great unknown to fight a relentless war against the greatest foes to his existence, - Cold, Starvation, and Death.

Excerpt from Andree's Balloon Expedition in Search of the North Pole In the afternoon of Sunday, the 11th of July, 1897, the balloon "Ornen" left the port of Virgo, Spitzbergen, carrying in its car Messrs. Andree, Strindberg and Fraenkel, the bold explorers, starting for the conquest of the North Pole. All the papers of the day were immediately full of discussions in various strains - pessimistic or favourable comments and prognostications, articles full of hope or criticism, each, in short, looking upon this extraordinary expedition from his own point of view.
