The British War Relief Society was created in 1939 for humanitarian relief of Great Britain with the outbreak of World War II in Europe. In the United States there was a strong isolationist movement and the official policy of the government was nonintervention with the 1939 Neutrality Act. This did not stop citizens from organizing relief efforts to support the beleaguered British people with nonmilitary supplies in the first years of the war. The Society's headquarters was in New York with chapters throughout the Country. British War Relief Association of Northern California unknown books

Some scattered foxing contemporary owner's signature on blank flyleaf slight rubbing to spine ends and corners else a fine copy. Cook's original purpose in exploring the region west of Greenland was ostensibly to organize a hunting expedition. Just north of Etah Cook decided that conditions were good enough for an assault on the North Pole and set out on his journey over the sea ice with two Eskimo companions two sledges and 26 dogs. Cook is one of the most controversial figures in the history of polar exploration. His supporters claim that he was the hero of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition the first to climb Mt. McKinley and the first to stand at the North Pole allegedly only four days before Robert Peary. Others insist that Cook faked his claims to both Mt. McKinley and the North Pole and continued a career of deceit by using the mail to defraud investors in a Texas oil promotion for which he was convicted and spent five years in federal prison. The endless controversy and debate continues over what Cook's true accomplishments were. Ricks: p.70; Smith: 1976; Wickersham: 4904 later printing. The Polar Publishing Co. hardcover books
