Ernest Thompson Seton

Photo of Ernest Thompson SetonErnest Thompson Seton was born in England in 1860 and died in the United States in 1946. An author, painter, and naturalist, he was co-founder, with Lord Baden-Powell, of the Boy Scouts of America, an organization that promotes respect among youth for nature’s gifts. Seton was especially concerned with the plight of the American Indians and the environment, at a time when both were sadly neglected by society. His stories and paintings of wildlife are standard works on nature study for boys and girls, and continue to be used widely today. Author of over 50 books, Mr. Seton’s message that nature is a very good thing is more relevant than ever today. Currently, the Ernest Thompson Seton Institute in Los Angeles, CA is dedicated to preserving Seton’s art and writings.

He is the author of The Gospel of the Redman: Commemorative Edition.
