Battle of Ink and Ice tells the story of American explorers Frederick Cook and Robert Peary, both of whom claimed in 1909 to have discovered the North Pole. It’s also a tale of warring newspapers, because each man was backed by a rival New York City daily, the New York Herald and the New York Times. It’s a sixty-year saga of frostbite and fake news that has something to tell us about the media-saturated world we inhabit today.

Darrell Hartman was born and raised in Maine. He graduated from Yale in 2003 with a B.A. in Literature and has been a freelance writer since 2007. Published in 2023, Battle of Ink and Ice is Mr. Hartman’s first book.
