Here is the story of Henson s dramatic, groundbreaking life.Matthew began his travels as a ship s cabin boy, but it was his partnership with Robert E. Peary that made history. Although he acted as the team s indispensable carpenter, hunter, navigator, and interpreter, his crucial role in the expedition went largely unacknowledged. Kathleen Olmstead, the adaptor of several "Classic Starts"(r) novels, captures all the adventure, danger, and thrills involved in reaching the top of the world", He risked the great unknown…and became the first man to reach the North Pole.

    Seller did everything wrong. Seller took my money and I never got a tracking number. Two weeks went by. Seller did not return my email. Zero contact, did not receive the item, eBay stepped in. Seller did not reply to eBay's emails. So eBay is refunding me the money. I've been buying from eBay for 15 years and this is my first negative feedback so you know this seller doesn't care so stay away. NOT RECOMMENDED!

    The puzzle's condition was as described, ordered August 27, arrived September 7, and it was adequately packaged. My only issue is that it was mailed with NO TRACKING. Had it been lost in the mail it would have pitted the buyer against the seller. For a shipping charge of $10.07, tracking should have been included.
