Excerpt from Explorers and Founders of America This book gives biographical sketches of the greatest personalities in the history of America, from the days of the earliest adventurers down to the Revolutionary War, and may be used advantageously in any of the grammar grades. It may be noted in passing that it contains all the biographical material required in the Syllabus of the New York State Education Department for the fifth grade, and also all the sketches required in the course of study for the 5 A and 5 B grades in the city of New York.

Each sketch is followed by suggestive topics for oral or written composition and for review, and a considerable amount of map work and outside reading is recommended.

The South Pole is a book by Roald Amundsen and it represents an interesting first-hand account of the Norwegian expedition's successful attempt to reach the South Pole in 1911. Amundsen spends a great deal of time talking about logistics and placing of depots in preparation for his polar attempt all the way from the preparation leading up to the initial sea voyage, the voyage itself and then the establishing of a camp at the Antarctic. Although they were lucky with the weather, and Amundsen attributed the success of the expedition to "good luck", it is obvious that the Norwegian expedition was well prepared and ready for the troubles ahead; the equipment, the sledges with well-trained dogs, the supply depots with seal meat at regular intervals along the route, the sunglasses to avoid snow blindness; it was all thought of in advance.
