Matthew Henson: Quest for the North Pole by Kathleen Olmstead
This is a biography of Matthew Henson, an African-American who accompanied Admiral Robert E. Peary on his many expeditions to the Arctic. Henson was there when Admiral Peary reached the North Pole. This book traces Henson's life from childhood past his death in 1955 to his legacy as an arctic explorer who reached the top of the world. A fabulous and fast read!
