A handsome edition of Henson's 1912 memoir recounting his polar exploits, and two-decade-long association with Robert Peary. With 50 nicely reproduced period photographs. With an introduction by S. Allen Counter, author of North Pole Legacy: Black, White, and Eskimo. Barely acknowledged in his day, Henson's accomplishments are now honored with a monument at Arlington National Cemetery, a postal stamp, and a U.S. naval ship bearing his name.  (ARC113, $14.95)
