Byrd, and despite his foreign beginnings, Freuchen was perhaps better known to more people in the United States than any other explorer of our time."--Evelyn Stefansson, The New York Times"[A] formidable and fascinating man"--Harriet Baker, AnOtherRichly illustrated throughout with maps and black-and-white photographs. 606 $aExplorers$7Generated by AI 607 $aGreenland$7Generated by AI 607 $aArctic regions$7Generated by AI 615 0$aExplorers 676 $aB 700 $aFreuchen$b Peter$01434200 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157581803321 996 $aArctic Adventure$93586661 997 $aUNINA
