Seton, Ernest Thompson, 1860-1946 : Ernest Thompson Seton was born in England in 1860 and came to Canada in 1866. The family attempted farming but moved to Toronto in 1870. There Seton cultivated his interest in nature, studied classics at the Toronto Collegiate Institute, and took evening classes at the Ontario Art School, where he won a gold medal. He later studied at the Royal Academy in England, 1879-1882. He spent the next eight years homesteading with a brother on the Upper Assiniboine and undertook various zoological and hunting expeditions. He published Birds of Manitoba and Mammals of Manitoba, and became the province's government naturalist.

During two visits to New York city in 1883 and 1885, he found employment as an illustrator of animals. In 1890-1891 he studied at the Julian Academy in Paris. His success in trapping a New Mexico wolf who was terrorizing ranchers, secured his reputation as hunter and naturalist wise in animal ways. In 1896 he published Studies in the Art Anatomy of Animals. Returning to New York, he began a prolific writing career. His account of trapping Lobo, "Lobo, King of Currumpaw", had won him fame in 1894. His book, Wild Animals I have Known, 1898, made him a celebrity and led to acquaintance with figures such as Rudyard Kipling and Teddy Roosevelt. He began lecturing across North America on nature, animals and North American Indians.

In 1907, he led an expedition into the Canadian Arctic, and discovered the Earl Grey River. In 1918-1924 he researched, wrote and illustrated 8 volumes of Game Animals and the Lives They Lead, earning him the J. Burroughs Medal in 1926, and the D.G. Elliot Medal in 1928 from the American Museum of Natural History. He founded the Woodcraft League of America, to lead boys to spiritual communion with nature through outdoor activity. Seton also chaired the founding meeting of the Boy Scouts of America in 1910 and served as the Chief Scout of America, 1910-1915, despite differences between Seton and R.S. Baden-Powell, founder of Boy Scouts. In 1930 Seton established the Seton Institute to produce recreational leaders schooled in Indian lore, religion and crafts, and became active in the defence of American Indians.
