Byrd, of course was not the 1st to reach the South Pole. Since living outside the States, I've found many instances where Americans try to make it sound as they were 1st at things, when it just isn't true. Great propaganda though! Won't get into it as it would just cause sided controversy.
Yes, history books are NOT always correct. I think that the stories are interesting anyway.
Interesting or comical?
well.....a little of both???
By Jove, I thing you have it!
1928 was well after the first Antarctic pioneers but that doesn't discredit Byrd's efforts at all. This must be a fascinating read.....anything written close to the time of an event holds a certain mysticism to me.
racer, I love reading about any adventure like this! Thank you for your comments!
