His North Pole Claim Up Again Dr. Frederick Cook Requests "Full and Impartial Investigation of Story." HIS NORTH POLE CLAIM UP AGAIN Dr. Frederick Cook Requests "Full and Impartial Investigation of Story." Copyright, 1936, by Associated Press. CHICAGO, Feb. 20.—Dr. Frederick Cook, storm center of the "north pole fraud" that shook the world a generation ago, came out of retirement today to demand that science recognize his claim to discovery of the pole in 1908. White-haired and weary of being jeered as a faker, the 70-year-old explorer asked that his name be cleared "before I die." In a letter written to the American Geographical society on the 28th anniversary of his departure from Greenland, Dr. Cook requested "a full and impartial investigation of my story."
