 Biographical Note

Stuart D. Paine, 1910-1961, was an Antarctic explorer who accompanied Admiral Richard E. Byrd on his second Antarctic expedition in 1933-1935, and was in charge of the Geological Party's dog team, the primary dog sledging party of the expedition season. The expedition traveled 1410 miles by dog sled in 88 days and came within 180 miles of the South Pole. Paine was apt to writing about his exploration. During his time in Antarctica he filled three separate journals, edited the expedition newspaper, "The Barrier Bull," and after his return to the states, wrote numerous stories.

 Scope and Contents

The Stuart D. Paine and Paine Family Papers, which dates from 1921-1988 and 2010, contains Paine's diaries, sketches, artifacts, notes, certificates, maps and newsclippings that he appeared to gather during and about the Second Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1933-1935). The collection also contains United States Geological Survey quad maps, essays and interview transcripts created and collected by Paine's family regarding his experience during the expedition and about his lead sledge dog, Jack the Giant Killer.
