He also began to take an active interest in international affairs; he joined the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations and eventually became president.

Author Davis climbed astride the tired old cayuse of the western story, rode it through a bright panorama of the old West, and won a well-deserved Pulitzer Prize (1936).
