Description

ADMIRAL BYRD 148 Newspaper Articles! All 1934 Antarctica Expedition Scrapbook.
INCREDIBLY RARE
There are 148 Articles in this 3 ring Binder Scrapbook
The majority of the articles (I would say 95%) are about Byrd’s Expedition to Antarctica but some touch on the World Fair or various other things happening in Antarctica at the time.
The binder is 11.5” x 9.75” x 1.5”
The pages are 11” x 8.5”
I posted some of the articles to get an idea on the subject matter, but I think the mystery of what information you will find inside is half of the fun (Plus I can’t post 148 pictures)
Date Ranges from April 1934 to August 1934
Marked Volume II
Selling it how I found it, I did not want to take the chance of damaging any of this historical information

Richard Evelyn Byrd Jr. (October 25, 1888 – March 11, 1957) was an American naval officer and explorer. He was a recipient of the Medal of Honor, the highest honor for valor given by the United States, and was a pioneering American aviator, polar explorer, and organizer of polar logistics. Aircraft flights in which he served as a navigator and expedition leader crossed the Atlantic Ocean, a segment of the Arctic Ocean, and a segment of the Antarctic Plateau. Byrd claimed that his expeditions had been the first to reach both the North Pole and the South Pole by air. His claim to have reached the North Pole is disputed.He is also known for discovering Mount Sidley, the largest dormant volcano in Antarctica.
