The Pole is Eric Walterss powerful fictionalized retelling of Robert Pearys 1909 expedition to the North Pole aboard The Roosevelt, as experienced by a young cabin boy named Danny, away from home and at sea for the very first time. This highly adventurous tale features Canadian hero Robert Bartlett, captain of The Roosevelt (featured in Walterss mega-bestselling Trapped in Ice), and Matthew Henson, Pearys assistant and the first African-American Arctic explorer.
