In this important work Lieutenant Peary tells the story of his travels and adventures in the Arctic regions. His extraordinary sledge journey and his experiences among the Eskimos are fully described, and this book is a complete record of his Arctic work, for which the Royal Geographical Society has this year awarded him their Gold Medal. The fact that Lieutenant Peary is about to start on a determined effort to reach the North Pole lends a special interest to this book. THROUGH ASIA. By SVEN HEDIN.
