...years he cruised along the Labrador coast especially for an ethnological study of the Eskimos and Indians living there. He was in command of the Crocker Land expedition to the Polar Regions which took place from 1913-17. In all his travels he has covered 10,000 miles with dog team in company with Polar Eskimos. Mr. MacMillan will also be in command of the Bowdoin-Baffin Land Expedition which will take place next year...
