Ernest Thompson Seton

Luontokirjailija Ernest Thompson Setonin Eläinten sankareita kuvaa sankarillisuuden ominaisuuksia, joita kirjailija on nähnyt useissa villieläimissä. "Sankari on yksilö, jolla on epätavallisia lahjoja ja saavutuksia. Olipa kyseessä ihminen tai eläin, tämä määritelmä pätee; ja sen historia vetoaa niiden kuulijoiden mielikuvitukseen ja sydämiin.” Ernest Thompson Seton (1860 -1946) oli kirjailija, Woodcraft Indians -järjestön perustaja ja yksi Boy Scouts of America (BSA) -järjestön perustajista.

Considered one of the best books on Native Americans ever written. The author and compiler reveals how Indians once lived and what they believed in relation to spiritual principles. As we move further away from the time when Native Americans were living completely free and unencumbered in what was to become the United States, before the arrival of the white man, it becomes increasingly difficult to preserve or remember the way of life that they had. Seton preserves all of the most important information in this book, gathered from the best sources at a time when it could still be accurately found. Like other Bibles, it includes creation stories and mythology as well as the trials and tribulations of the people. Chapters include The Soul of the Red Man, covering spiritual beliefs; The Ancient Way is about family life, laws and medicine men; The Wisdom of the Old Men covers the ancient teachings and myths; and Prophets of the Red Race shares stories on 13 different prophets, including Hiawatha, Tecumseh, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Wabasha, Geronimo and Wovoka.

This book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. So that the book is never forgotten we have represented this book in a print format as the same form as it was originally first published.

This edition features all the stories for this classic of nature lore, however they have been rearranged to fit the reading order used by Ambleside Online. From the foreword- "THESE STORIES are true. Although I have left the strict line of historical truth in many places, the animals in this book were all real characters. They lived the lives I have depicted, and showed the stamp of heroism and personality more strongly by far than it has been in the power of my pen to tell..." Such a collection of histories naturally suggests a common thought a moral it would have been called in the last century. No doubt each different mind will find a moral to its taste, but I hope some will herein find emphasized a moral as old as Scripture: we and the beasts are kin. Man has nothing that the animals have not at least a vestige of, the animals have nothing that man does not in some degree share."

Starting A Legacy For Millions of ScoutsEnjoy this unabridged, high-quality Doublebit Legacy reprint of The Boy Scouts Original 1910 Handbook, which was the first temporary version of the Scout Handbook written by Ernest Thompson Seton for the Boy Scouts in the first year that the organization was founded. At the birth of Scouting in America, there were two similar, but entirely different official handbooks that were published around the same time. The present book is the very first American scout manual, published in 1910 by Ernest Thompson Seton (the Original Edition Boy Scout Handbook). One year later in 1911, the Boy Scouts National Council approved the publication of an entirely different official handbook with all new content, the First Edition Boy Scout Handbook, with no official single author. This is one case in which the words "original" and "first" do not mean the same thing This Original 1910 Handbook provides instruction on boy scout badges, tests, and activities as suggested by Seton from BP's Scouting for Boys book, but were not yet official with the organization. Additionally, the book provided instruction on Seton's primary interests in camping and outdoors skills, first aid, swimming, nature lore, animal tracking and identification, archery, fire starting, cooking, citizenship, and patriotism. See the scouting principles and ideals as they were published at the birth of the organization in 1910 Although the times have changed and some of the material has become outdated since its publication, see how boy scouts were instrumental in early 1900s history and how they pushed forward with determination and great skill. This book makes a perfect gift for Eagle Scouts and scout leaders or scout masters Being full of classic outdoors skills and information, it is also a great book for outdoorspeople, campers, backpackers, bushcrafters, and outdoors historians.
