Matthew Alexander Henson (1866-1955) The first man to set foot on the top of the world.

The signs of a true adventurer showed up early in the life of Matthew Henson. At the ripe old age of thirteen, Henson shipped out as cabin boy on a schooner bound for China. When he returned to Washington, D. C., he met the man who helped make him famous. The then Lt. Robert E. Peary discovered Matt Henson working in a Washington hat shop. Peary was immediately impressed by Henson, and he invited the young man to join a canalsurveying expedition to Nicaragua. Henson accepted. Under Peary’s tutelage, Matt Henson became an able navigator, adept at calculating distances and plotting charts. A short time later, Peary began his renowned arctic expeditions to locate the North Pole, and Henson accompanied the admiral on all seven trips. On the final trip, Peary lay drained from exhaustion and crippled by frostbite. Someone had to make the last dash

to the Pole, and fast, since a number of nations were vying for the claim. Matt Henson was the man. Trudging the last painful miles, recording observations and calculating a true course, Matthew Alexander Henson became the first man to locate and stand on the North Pole. Peary arrived forty-five minutes later, arid, together, the men planted the American flag. No longer was Matt Henson an obscure adventurer. He was given a Congressional Medal, life membership in the Explorers’ Club, a commendation from the President, a Master of Science degree by Morgan State College, and numerous medals and plaques from civic organizations. * l April 6, 1959, the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the North Pole, was proclaimed by the governor of Maryland as Matthew Alexander Henson Day. Fitting tribute to the first man ever to stand on the- top of the world.
