Robert Peary's Claim To Reaching The North Pole

In "Mount Robson Mystery" by Lynn Tanod, some people believe Kain is the first person to reach Mount Robson, I; however, believe George Kinney is the first person to reach Mount Robson because he is determined, thwarted, and partnered with Phillips. He made twelve attempts to succeed to reach Mount Robson, and it was difficult for him. They were forced to oppose successfully threw snow, wind, and the sheer size of the mountain. Kinney and Phillips were both partners, and claims to have conquered the mountain. Four years later Phillips then said “we haven’t reached on top of Mount Robson” which seems strange. Kain and Phillips might’ve partnered together to claim that they we’re first to reach Mount Robson.

He received many awards. He had an honorary degree from Morgan State College and Howard University. Henson also received various medals from Congressional Medal, 1944; Presidential Citation, 1954 (Burgess). He was given a job as a messenger at the United States Custom house in New York with the help of some politically influential friends. He was later awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. He was also the first black to be elected a full member of the Explorers Club in New York (Henson). The Hubbard Medal was awarded to Henson for distinction in exploration, discovery, and research (Profile). The United States Postal Service issued a twenty-two cent postage stamp in honor of Henson and Peary (Wikipedia). Reaching the North Pole for the first time in history was a double victory for Matthew Henson. It was a victorious win over both an unfriendly land and the prejudices of a white dominated

In Morton's "New English Canaan", he recounts the day that the Maypole was erected to stand on Ma-re Mount. While this pole was agreeable with Morton and the Native Americans it was not however,

If someone were to ask you who founded America, who would be your answer? Although many accusations have been thrown around, such as Christopher Columbus, the Vikings, or even Native American civilizations, there is historical evidence to back particularly one of those explorers up. This argument vocalizes the inaccurate portrayal that was taught about Christopher Columbus being the first to discover the Americas when in fact the Vikings came across the Americas prior to Christopher Columbus.

64. How many years did Matthew Henson and his group search for the North Pole?

In letter 1 Robert Walton writes to her sister Mrs. Saville about how his journey through london, that is an experience of a cold and breezy conditions that braces his nerves and fills him with delight, and motivates hims into pursuing his dream to reach the north pole, as they travel across the ocean his curiosity becomes more and more joyous as they get closer and closer to the north pole, but first to get to the north pole he and his crew of whale-fishers went through several expeditions through the

Christopher Columbus and a hundred men discovered the New World on accident. Even though it

England offered 20,000 pounds to anyone who could produce an accurate method of finding longitude at sea. A solution was imperative for “Safety and Quickness of Voyages, the Preservation of Ships and the Lives of Men”, the “Trade of Great Britain” and “the Honour of [the] Kingdom”. But with so much riding on a solution, the board in charge of giving the prize was inundated with hoaxes and false attempts to win the 20,000 pounds. Besides that, the common thought was that an astronomical solution was the answer, not a mechanical one. Because of this, for Harrison to get the board to meet and discuss his clock was almost impossible without support. He took his clock first to Edmond Halley, a member of the Royal Society. Halley was impressed, and sent Harrison to George Graham, a well-known watchmaker. After a full day spent discussing Harrison’s ideas, Graham agreed to become Harrison’s patron, and finally granted him the funds he needed to make his vision a reality. Once the clock was built he took it back to Graham who showed it to the Board of longitude and the Royal Society, “…who gave it a hero’s welcome”. Patronage was essential for the clock to be built, and without Halley’s connections through the Royal Society Harrison would not have received the finances he needed. With support secured Harrison went on to construct his first

One version of the events, from “The Saga of Erik the Red” stated that not only did Leif Erikson not make it back home after going to Norway, but he crossed the Atlantic Ocean completely by mistake and stumbled upon North America. If this one is true, it’s very similar to how Columbus landed in Cuba, which was also thought to be a mistake. The second version comes from “Saga of the Greenlanders.” This version says the when Leif made it back to Greenland, a trader from Icelandic named Bjarni Herjolfsson told Erikson about North America when he overshot Greenland and saw the new land. If this version is true, that would mean that Bjarni would be the one that actually discovered North America, but because it was stated that he never stepped foot on the land, he actually didn’t. But both “Saga of Erik the Red” and “Saga of the Greenlanders” end in the same way, Leif Erikson finding North

Many people in this world don’t have the correct knowledge of what has happened in the past. There has been a lot of misconceptions that people have about North America. A common misconception that has spread throughout the world is that Christopher Columbus discovered America. That statement is more than 100% false. Christopher Columbus never set a foot in North America. He landed in the Caribbean islands and and explored the Central and South American coasts. He didn’t reach North America, which was already discovered by the Native Americans.

Finally, Neil Armstrong is known as a national hero. Armstrong along with two other astronauts, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Michael Collins, landed their aircraft, the Apollo 11 successfully on the moon after four days. They opened the hatch of the craft, Armstrong climbed down the ladder, and he says,” That’s one small step for man, one giant step for mankind”(“Neil Armstrong”). In spite of, the obstacles and pressure on him; he went down in history being the first man on the moon.

“But you are rather waiting to hear from me how it occurred to me to venture to conceive any motion of the earth, against the traditional opinion of astronomers and almost against common sense…” (39).

Today I will be talking about who was the first person to reach the north pole. So Peary discovered the North Pole after eight Trails in 23 years. The North Pole was one of the last remaining laurels of earthly exploration. Robert Edwin Peary was the first person to reach the north Pole. There are two men the reach the North Pole in April 21, 1908 and it was Robert Edwin Peary and Matthew Henson and there were was four more mens that went with them Ootah, Seegloo, Egingway, and Ooqueah on April 6, 1909. So the Americans explorer which is Robert E. Peary sending word from Indian Harbour, Labardon, that he had reached the north pole in April 1909,one hundred years ago in this month. Anyone who read the two headline they would know that the north pole could discovered only once.

By researching and understanding the political background that existent in the late 60’s, we can find a good answer to the question of why the US would fake an event as important as the first man landing on a celestial body. However, the analysis of the political background is not enough to support the conspiracy theory; knowing this, the conspiracy theorist have other “evidence”.

North America was first discovered by Christopher Columbus. / North American was first discovered by the Vikings. h) Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity is the one true theory of gravity. / Albert Einstein’s different theory of gravity is the one true theory of gravity.
