	YMCA Camp Belknap
		Ernest Thompson Seton was born Ernest Evan Thompson in South Shields, England, on August 14, 1860.
		Seton's development of the idea of Woodcraft in a larger sense also coincided with an emerging trend in the American conscience as a whole at the beginning of the twentieth century, namely, to view Native American life as the model for American society.
		And thus it is clear that Seton, Muir, and Pinchot, no matter their differences in philosophy, were all important in the development of the changing American attitude towards the environment in the latter half of the nineteenth century and the first few decades of the 1900's.

	"Johnny" Walker's Scouting Milestones Pages - Ernest Thompson Seton: The Beginnings of Controversy
		Seton, as you may recall, was recruited to write the first Boy Scout handbook for the BSA in early 1910 as a stopgap measure to stem the tide of demand for an organizational manual for its program for boys.
		Seton was dropped because he was not a citizen of the United States and refused to say that he would become one, and because he was not in sympathy with American customs and ideals.
		ERNEST Thompson Seton's greatest testament to this belief is locked-up within his trademark signature, the one that was described earlier as a "jackass hoof".

	Hiawatha Seaway Council: Biography of Ernest Thompson Seton
		It was with these words that Ernest Thompson Seton first described the inspiration behind his organization of the Woodcraft Indian movement, which he founded in many ways as one of the focal points of his crusade in the latter half of the nineteenth century to return American society to its Native American past.
		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.

	"Johnny" Walker's Scouting Milestones Pages - Did Baden-Powell Plagiarize Ernest Thompson Seton?
		Seton should have taken a page out of Kipling's playbook and genuinely accepted the General as the man who could most effectively deliver his beautiful music of Woodcraft to the youthful ears of the world.
		In the end, Seton tried to quiet the good General's voice by shouting the shrill accusations of plagiarism from the hilltops; words that were mostly born of jealousy, anger and resentment.
