On 21 April 1908, Frederick Albert Cook was the first to reach the North Pole! (Or maybe not but this postcard says it so it's true). [Postcard, mixed media, 1909. My collection]

Born on this day, 10 June 1865: Frederick Albert Cook! 🥳 💖

Yeah that's actually not really Roald's telescope... I see this pop up on auction sites every once in a while and thankfully nobody buys it. As fake as Frederick Cook reaching the highest peak of Mount Denali. 🥲(Sorry, Fred!)

I believe that Roald Amundsen is still alive!!

My birthday is 4 days before Fred's and I feel like this is what Co-Star would tell him, too.

Super high-res photo of my good friend Georges Lecointe, who has always believed in me. gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv…

Sold today, but sadly not to me. Cabinet card of Frederick Cook in his polar outfit.
