Description
Matthew Henson was not meant to lead an ordinary life; his dreams had sails. Those dreams took him from the port of Baltimore and onto the sea, seeking adventures around the world. He may have started out as a cabin boy, but he did not set sail with Robert Peary just to launder shirts and cook meals--he meant to prove himself as an explorer. And after decades of danger and defying odds, Henson was part of a crew--one white man, one black man, and four Inuit men-- who finally did what no one had ever done before: they made it to the North Pole.
Told in poetic first-person narration, this is the thrilling and inspiring story of a hidden figure from American history.
