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). 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.
