The book of woodcraft and Indian lore eBook Ernest Seton
While most people will buy this book for its practical outdoor skills, I bought it not only for its practicality, but also to learn more about Seton's moral philosophy and individualism. Some may already know that Ernest Thompson Seton and Baden Powell were associates who founded the Boy Scouts of America, with Seton being in charge of the American side and Powell in charge of the British side. Their eventual split was much about their different philosophies where Powell's was more about developing a good citizen and Seton was more about developing virtuous character. A problem Aristotle wrestled with as well, and is expressed in the aphorism, "What's popular isn't always right, and what's right isn't always popular." Seton lays out his basic philosophy in this book whose main purpose is to develop individual autonomy and character in practical matters of outdoor life and empower the individual with knowledge and skills that will not only make him/her self-sufficient but also valuable to his/her community as a leader and example of individual virtues and skills. One of the ironies is that Powell's "Boy Scouts" was more popular in Seton's America, while Seton's "Woodcraft" movement was more successful in Britain than America.Product details

The book of woodcraft and Indian lore eBook Ernest Seton Reviews
A great book .Written 80+ years ago, still quite valid today.It made my grandson very happy. Its a real hands on book for the outdoor type of person thank you for carrying this book. Mel Ames
Article honestly described and received rapidly Excellent.
where's the friggin' "don't care to review" button?
This is apparently a photo copy of the original that is bound as a book. The copy is not enhanced so it looks like someone used a library copier and bound the results. It appears the original was in a 5 by 7 format and thus the copy has 2 to 3 inch margins. A good book produced in an inappropriate format.
Amazing book in great condition for the age
