VERDICT OF GEN. A. W. GREELY, REAR ADMIRAL W. S. SCHLEY AND OTHER ARCTIC EXPERTS
Dr. Cook is the discoverer of the North Pole.—General A. W. Greely.
No one familiar with the Polar problem doubts Dr. Cook's success. Peary never tried to get to the Pole. He copied Cook's data and then, by official intrigue tried to "put it over." A study of Peary's deception on compass variation will prove that.—Clark Brown.
You can prove the discovery of Northermost Land. The Eskimo talk is nonsense. The Polar discussion should be settled by an International Commission—Prof. Otto Nordenskjold.
Dr. Cook was the first and only man to reach the North Pole—Chas. E. Rilliet.
I have gone over all of Dr. Cook's data, and, in spite of the statements to the contrary, I believe he reached the Pole.—Maurice Connell.
It has always been my pleasure to support Dr. Cook. I can see no reason for doubting his success. Who are his accusers, surely not Arctic Explorers?—Captain Otto Sverdrup.
I am convinced that if anyone reached the Pole, Dr. Cook got there.—Andrew J. Stone.
From first to last I have championed Dr. Cook's cause, and after going over the printed records of both claimants I am doubly convinced that he reached the Pole.—Captain Edward A. Haven.
