| Summary: | Josephine Peary was the wife of Arctic explorer Robert Peary. The Pearys frequently travelled together, and Josephine recorded her experiences in a series of books of which My Arctic Journal is one. Her husband wrote the Introduction to this book and proudly says, "It should be remembered that within sixty miles of where Kane ... endured such untold sufferings, within eighty miles of where Greely's men one by one starved to death ... this tenderly nurtured woman lived for a year in safety and comfort." An accomplished Arctic explorer in her own right, Josephine Peary was granted the National Geographic Society's highest honor, the Medal of Achievement. |
