Summary
Matthew Henson was not meant to lead an ordinary life. His dreams had sails. They took him from the port of Baltimore and onto the sea. He strared out as a cabin boy but quickly proved himself as an explorer. He learned to survive in the Arctic wilderness, and he stood by Admiral Peary for years on end, all for the sake of his goal. And finally, after decades of facing danger and defying the odds, he reached the North Pole and made history
