• Verdict Of The Geographic HistorianDr. Cook's Record Is Accurate It Is Certified -- It Is Corroborated He Is The Discoverer of the North Pole By EDWIN SWIFT BALCH (From the N. Y. Tribune, April 14, 1913) Which was it: Cook or Peary? Who discovered the North Pole? Everybody thought the question had been settled long ago, but now comes an eminent geographer and explorer, who says, over his name, that both got to the "Big Nail," and that it was the Brooklyn doctor who did it first. And in defense of his belief he cites chapter and verse, and uses Peary's own story to prove that his hated rival it was who first stood at the top of the earth, "where every one of the cardinal points is South."The intrepid defender of Cook is Edwin Swift Balch, fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Science,* member of the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society, the Franklin Institute, American Philosophical, American Geographical and Royal Geographical Societies, writer on Arctic, Antarctic geographical and ethnological topics for the learned societies of the world. Dr. Balch lives at No. 1412 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, and the title of his book, is "The North Pole and Bradley."--My Attainment Of The Pole By Dr. Frederick A. Cook
