The Opinion of

Theodore Roosevelt

Regarding the Exploration and Discovery of the North Pole

---

 

From a letter to his sister, Anna Roosevelt Cowles, while on safari, October 17th, 1909

 .....Give my love to blessed Sheffield. I am always interested to hear what Will is doing.

                                                                                       Your Loving Brother.

 

P.S. That Peary reached the Pole I am sure; whether or not Cook did I can't say, for Cook though a capable man, is a fake.
