The life outside it was harder.

He had married Iva Miller, a Carlisle classmate, in 1913, the same year the Olympic controversy erupted.

They had four children and divorced later.

He married again, to Freeda Kirkpatrick, with whom he had four more children, and divorced again.

A third marriage, to Patricia Gladys Askew, came in 1945.

He struggled with alcoholism across the later decades of his life.

He worked as a film extra in Hollywood after his athletic career ended, playing — with the particular irony that American history had always arranged for him — uncredited roles as stereotypical Native Americans in productions that reduced the complexity of Indigenous life to props for Western plots.
