He later became an advisor on Arctic survival to the US government, preparing survival manuals and conducting surveys for the US Army during the Second World War. From 1947 he was Arctic consultant at Dartmouth College. Other significant books include MY LIFE WITH THE ESKIMO(1913), UNSOLVED MYSTERIES OF T HE ARCTIC(1939), and DISCOVERY(1964).
