Robert Reed (1931-1988) was the son of Jonathan Duff Reed, a navigator on Admiral Richard E. Byrd's 1926 flight over the North Pole.
Little America was an Antarctic research station located on the Ross Ice Shelf, first established by Byrd in 1929.
The Robert Reed "With Byrd in Little America" Project for Grade 7B Social Studies Class is a booklet created by Reed for a school project, circa 1943. The booklet contains a 3-page essay titled "With Byrd in Little America," a pencil drawn map of the Little America base, and black-and-white photographs of the research station depicting men, dogs, sleds, supplies and gear, a plane, aerial photographs, and pilot Bernt Bachen.
