Ernest Thompson Seton was born Ernest Evan Thompson in South Shields, England, on August 14, 1860.
A later anecdote of Ernest at a slightly older age also shows the beginnings of a concern for nature that would for sure not be deemed ordinary in that day and age: he and his cousin were chasing chickens around the yard one day with fishing irons, and after they caught one, they skewered it.
There were very few people living near or around the Thompsons in their new surroundings; they were "pioneers" in the most fundamental sense of the word, and it is in this that clear foreshadowing of attitudes that Seton held central to his philosophy of "back to the earth" later in life can be found.
