Description

North Pole Promise tells the story of a secret legacy of two famous explorers: Commander Robert Peary and Matthew Henson—one white, one African American, who, with four Inuit assistants found out the North Pole in 1909. Peary and Henson returned to america in a while after—the white Peary to acclaim, the African American Henson to obscurity—never to go to the Pole again. They every left in the back of sons, fathered with indigenous Greenlandic Inuit women. Within the 1980s, on a research go back and forth to Greenland, Dr. Allen Counter used to be introduced to two men in their eighties—the surviving “Amer-Inuit” sons—one from every explorer. Dr. Counter, an explorer himself, tells of discovering the fate of those children and in the end honoring them and their illustrious forebears at the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the North Pole.
