You and I are both getting a holiday, dear blog reader! For two days I have digested 100 pages of cool relief from the Antarctic tales of Admiral Byrd's expedition to the South Pole. I have written a longer-than-usual report ("To the South Pole!" Tuesday, October 8, 2013). So, now we have a miniscule 6-page account of an award given to the Admiral in the next article.
"Richard E. Byrd, on the evening of June 20, 1930, in Washington, D.C., received from the hands of President Herbert Hoover the National Geographic Society's Special Gold Medal of Honor" (National Geographic Magazine, August, 1930, "Admiral Byrd Receives New Honor from the Society," p. 228).
Have a nice day!
