Do you have the book Adhoolo?

[Cynthia Jones <librarianjones@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi all

I'm vigorously weeding the biography section in my HS
library. It has probably been pretty much untouched
for 30 years or so. It's been an interesting
process...almost no money to replace books but I'm
going out on a limb. The whole section was sooo dated
and soooo ugly! My question is about the book Ahdoolo
which is a biography of Matthew Henson. The subtitle
is "the negro who accompanied peary to the north pole"
so obviously we have some dated language issues here!
It looks like a great adventure, though. I think I
have kids who would really enjoy it. Is there
something better on this topic. My searching has
yielded only juvenile level books about him. Do I dare
keep this as is and/or does anyone have a suggestion
about a replacement?
Thanks so much for your time
