Seller: Green Oak Books and Collectibles, Airdrie, AB, Canada
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. : trade paperback 240 pp. The book appears to be unread. The spine is intact as are the inside plates. The cover has no major issues. A very nice copy. Though Seton wrote his autobiography, Keller found enough material to write a new - for the time - biography of one of North America's pioneering outdoorsmen and naturalists. Seton was the first Chief Scout for the Boy Scouts, though he founded his own group called the Woodcrafters in 1902 a few years before Lord Baden-Powell founded the Scouts. He is most well known as the author of Wild Animals I Have Known. There is still a group of Woodcrafters based in California, the Woodcraft Rangers. Seller Inventory # 000374
