List as Dr. Frederick Albert Cook, a respected physician and experienced explorer, tells you how he became the first man to reach the North Pole on April21, 1908. Hear his bitter fight with Admiral Robert E. Peary who denied that Cook had beaten him to the Pole and sought to destroy Cook's reputation.
