What truly got Grey Owl into the public eye were his articles that he had in "Forests and Outdoors", which was a Canadian Forestry Association publication. Through these articles, he acquired contacts that allowed him to write his books, entitled The Men of the Last Frontier and Pilgrims of the Wild. These pushed him into the public spot light. From this point, he gave numerous lectures in Canada, and it wasn't long before he was sent to England, where he made his everlasting impact.

Speaking to audiences such as the Royal Family, at Buckingham palace, he became world renowned, as the Red Indian: Grey Owl. England revered him as the true legend of conservation, and Indians as their spokesperson. He truly educated internationally about the dangers of trapping, and deforestation. His books earned international acclaim, and were major sellers at the time.

However, his true identity was close to being discovered, and, after the most breath taking speech of his career, he subsided into his natural habitat. He became, once again, one with nature. Two years later, he died. But when he died, the news of his false identity surged through the news like wild fire. His message became revered as false information, just as his identity. However, many years later, as awareness of conservation became not only a true reality, but a necessity, Grey Owl's words became the guidelines to all naturalists. He was then engraved into history, as the naturalist that was far ahead of his time. He lives on in the ongoing efforts to save our forests, and will forever be, Grey Owl.
