Description
Two men conquered the North Pole. One came home to a hero's welcome; the other--because of the color of his skin--slipped into anonymity, all but forgotten by history.This riveting, true adventure restores Matthew Henson, the first African American to reach the North Pole and the unsung hero of the Commander Robert E. Peary's expedition, to his rightful place of honor.
