From online article: How to Identify and Collect Snowbabies "Author Patsy Moyer once published an online article about a book written in 1901, The Snow Baby by Josephine Debitsch Peary, wife of the famous North Pole explorer Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary. In this interesting feature, Moyer detailed how the Peary's daughter, Marie Ahnighito, was “the first white child born that far north.” She also notes that her middle name honored the Inuit woman who made the child her first fur clothing.
