    Fitchburg Daily News
    (MA) dated Feb 20, 1920.
    This newspaper contains a prominent front page headline and report of the
    DEATH of Admiral ROBERT PEARY, the first person to reportedly reach the NORTH POLE.
    Robert Edwin Peary, Sr. (May 6, 1856 – February 20, 1920) was an
    American
    explorer who claimed to have reached the
    geographic North Pole
    with his expedition on April 6, 1909. Peary's claim was widely credited for most of the 20th century, rather than the competing claim by
    Frederick Cook
    , who said he got there a year earlier. Both claims were widely debated in newspapers until 1913. Based on an evaluation of Peary's records,
    Wally Herbert
    (also a polar explorer) concluded in a 1989 book that Peary did not reach the pole, although he may have been as close as 60 miles.
