Dr. Frederick Cook: Challenging the Narrative

Smith’s talk will present some of the important and often overlooked facts contained in the Society’s research collection, as well as a list of reasons why Dr. Cook’s work deserves much greater recognition. The Cook Society is a non-profit organization, established in 1956 and incorporated in 1975.  Their mission is to gain official recognition for Cook's scientific and geographic accomplishments. Carol Smith holds an MFA from Florida State University. Before taking over the Cook Society, she spent 30 years as an artist, painting and exhibiting throughout the Eastern United States.
