Description
Excerpt from Four Years in the White North
My friends realized that this was the last great geo graphical problem Oi the North, and they generously Offered to contribute the necessary funds for the carry ing out Of my plans in 1911. In the spring of that year I received a letter from George Borup, assistant curator Of geology in the American Museum of Natural History, stating that if I would consent to postpone my departure for one year, we, as joint leaders, would receive the help and patronage of that institution.
Here were two inducements - one the honor Of work ing under the auspices Of the American Museum, and the other the help and companionship of George Borup, my roommate on the S. S. Roosevelt.
