    "Keeping Physically Fit" - Admiral Byrd Expedition Article by C. Ward Crampton, Sept. 1935

    No full text
    A "Keeping Physically Fit" article appearing in the September, 1935 Boy's Life Magazine written by C. Ward Crampton about the Admiral Byrd Arctic Expedition. The center image of the column shows Admiral Byrd greeting Paul Siple. They are standing with a small group of men near their sleds and skis. A few sled dogs lie in foreground in the bottom left corner. Although the date of this column's publication suggest the article chronicles a portion of Admiral Byrd's second arctic voyage, the article describes Byrd as "rejoining his first Antarctic Expedition at Panama." C. Ward Crampton's account starts as an adventure story, describing the crew as having explored "every wild corner of the world," before segueing into praising Byrd as the first to "have his personnel given a thorough medical examination and overhauling before they engaged in the grueling labors." In the following sections he endorses his philosophy of preventative care by first describing a man they disqualified and then describing future illness he was able to predict and address it. In the final section, Crampton describes the tests he used to assess the explorers' physical aptitude so that readers could assess their own.For a biography of C. Ward Crampton, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/551 Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd, Jr. (October 25, 1888 – March 11, 1957) was a naval officer, pioneering American aviator, polar explorer, and recipient of the Medal of Honor. Byrd explored the Antarctic on four separate expeditions, of which the United States government official backed the last two. The 1928 trip was his first trip to Antarctica. His fourth trip in 1946 is still the largest Antarctic expedition to date.The documents are fragile. There is some writing in blue ink in three places on the front page. There are two large indents at the top left and top right edge of both pages from paperclips. There is a crease across the center of both pages from being folded in half
