From DJ flap - Max Fleischmann is known for his wealth from the family yeast empire and his philanthropy. But more interesting is the accounts of his adventures starting with a 1906 expedition in an auxiliary sailing ship to within 600 miles of the North Pole, his safari into British East Africa in 1907, his rugged pack trip into the Cassiar Mountains of British Columbia in 1908 and his hunting trip to the Alaskan Islands in 1909.
