Ernest Thompson Seton was a naturalist, artist, writer, and lecturer and also one of the key founders of the Boy Scouts of America, authoring their handbook. "By 1910, Seton was one of the country's leading nature writers and illustrators...The next fifteen years were chiefly devoted to producing the massive Lives of Game Animals, a four-volume work published between 1925 and 1929, which won him the coveted John Burroughs (1926) and Daniel Giraud Elliott (1928) medals. By ably blending his field experiences with the writings of zoologists and other observers, Seton had created a work that was eminently readable, yet reflected the latest scientific thinking. His landmark insights into animal psychology and emphasis on life histories gave the work its standing as a classic." (American Dictionary of National Biography).
