In 1917 he enlisted in what became the U.S. Army Air Service, rising to first lieutenant, earning his wings, and later instructing pilots. Returning from the service in January 1919, he worked--when he wasn't hunting or fishing--in his father's many businesses in the Upper Peninsula. In the spring of that year, at his father's prodding, he headed north to begin his adventure.??In 1949 Cook retired from a restless career as a manager and owner of numerous businesses. He died on February 6, 1965, at the age of seventy-two, content with his love of the outdoors and his contributions to his world. Cook's wilderness experiences, like other young people's risky undertakings, remained the high point of his life.показать меньше
