Trail of an Artist-Naturalist

¿Trail of an Artist-Naturalist¿ is the 1940 Autobiography of Ernest Thompson Seton. Ernest Thompson Seton (1860 ¿ 1946) was an English author and wildlife artist who founded the Woodcraft Indians in 1902. He was also among the founding members of the Boy Scouts of America, established in 1910. He wrote profusely on this subject, the most notable of his scouting literature including ¿The Birch Bark Roll¿ and the ¿Boy Scout Handbook¿. Seton was also an early pioneer of animal fiction writing, and he is fondly remembered for his charming book ¿Wild Animals I Have Known¿ (1898). This volume constitutes a fascinating look into the life of a person who played an important role in the environmental and naturalist movement of a young North America, and it is not to be missed by those with an interest in the history of American Scouting. Other notable works by this author include: ¿Lobo, Rag and Vixen¿ (1899), ¿Two Little Savages¿ (1903), and ¿Animal Heroes¿ (1911). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
