A handsome edition of Henson's 1912 memoir recounting his polar exploits, and two-decade-long association with Robert Peary. With period photographs and supplemental information from The Explorer's Club archives. 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. Originally published as A Negro Explorer at the North Pole.  (ARC113, $19.95)
