ERNEST SETON-THOMPSON
Ernest Seton-Thompson signs a piece of paper in black ink which he has added his characteristic wolf's paw print below his signature.
Original Art signed: "Ernest T. Seton/[He has drawn his characteristic wolf's paw print below his signature]", 4½x2¾ piece of paper. Born in England, raised in Canada, Seton-Thompson (1860-1946) was a popular writer and illustrator of youth-oriented books on nature and wood lore. He was active in the founding of the Boy Scouts, serving as Chief Scout (1910-1915). However, he broke with other scout leaders over two issues: the Boy Scouts' military style and their reluctance to incorporate younger boys ("Cub Scouts") into the organization, with the bear cub as symbol. In 1915, Seton-Thompson formed a rival youth movement, the Woodcraft League, but of course Scouting later did adopt his cub scout idea. He was born Ernest S. Thompson. When he learned that his Scottish ancestors, in hiding after the Battle of Culloden (1746) had adopted the English name of Thompson to hide themselves, he resolved to reassume the old family name. Out of deference to his mother, he wrote as Ernest Seton-Thompson until her death in 1897. Thereafter, he adopted the name of Ernest T. Seton. Fine condition.
