His parents were Joseph and Alice Thompson. Seton immigrated to Canada with his family in 1866 and legally changed his name to Seton—an old family name—in 1883. Later, Seton immigrated to the United States, becoming a naturalized citizen on November 6, 1931. He attended the Ontario College of Art from 1877-1879, the Royal Academy School of Painting and Sculpture in 1881, the Art Students‘ League in 1884, and the Academie Julian in 1891. Seton married Grace Gallatin in 1896; the two had one child, Ann, and were divorced in 1935. That same year, Seton married his second wife, Julia Ross Buttree, with whom he also adopted a second daughter, Dee. Seton died on October 23, 1946. Seton had a diverse career as an artist (often using the pseudonym BlackWolf), naturalist, lecturer, illustrator, and author. He worked as an artist for the lithographic publishers Wilhelms and Betzig in New York from 1883-1884 and as an illustrator for The Century Dictionary—also in New York—in 1886. From 1887-1890, Seton served as a resort manager at Lake Ontario, and then became a naturalist for the government of Manitoba after 1892. ―In 1898 Seton published his first book of animal stories, Wild Animals I Have Known, telling the stories of Lobo, King of Currumpaw; Silverspot, the crow; and Raggylug, the cottontail rabbit, from the animals' points of view. Lavishly illustrated with Seton's unique drawings and paintings, the book was an instant success, and Seton went on tour telling his stories and showing slides of his illustrations. For the next ten years he turned out at least one book of stories annually, including The Biography of a Grizzly; Lives of the Hunted; Monarch, the Big Bear of Tallac; Woodmyth and Fable; and Animal Heroes.‖ ―In 1902 Seton organized the Woodcraft Indians [which later became the Woodcraft League] for boys in order to encourage outdoor activities, and in 1904 he presented a copy of his Birchbark Roll of the Woodcraft Indians to Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the hero of the siege of Mafeking, South Africa, asking him to help popularize Woodcraft summer camps in England. Instead, Baden-Powell introduced his own organization--the Boy Scouts--into England in 1908, incorporating most of the games and activities Seton had included in the Birchbark Roll. When it appeared that Baden-Powell intended to move the Boy Scout organization into the United States, Seton joined forces with other youth leaders to form the Boy Scouts of America in 1910.‖ He served as the

    SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOLUME 68 NUMBER i Archeological Investigations in New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah (With 14 Plates) BY J. WALTER FEWKES (Publication 2442) CITY OF WASHINGTON PUBLISHED BY THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION MAY, 1917 Zh £orb (§aitimovt (ptees BALTIMOltlC, MI)., U. S. A. ARCHEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN NEW MEXICO, COLORADO, AND UTAH By J. WALTER FEWKES (With 14 Plate's) INTRODUCTION During- the year 1916 the author spent five months in archeological investigations in New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah, three of these months being given to intensive work on the Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado. An account of the result of the Mesa Verde work will appear in the Smithsonian Annual Report for 191 6, under the title " A Prehistoric Mesa Verde Pueblo and Its People." What was accomplished in June and October, 1916, before and after the work at the Mesa Verde, is here recorded. As archeological work in the Southwest progresses, it becomes more and more evident that we can not solve the many problems it presents until we know more about the general distribution of ruins, and the characteristic forms peculiar to different geographical locali- ties. Most of the results thus far accomplished are admirable, though Hmited to a few regions, while many extensive areas have as yet not been explored by the archeologist and the types of architecture peculiar to these unexplored areas remain unknown. Here we need a reconnoissance followed by intensive work to supplement what has already been done. The following pages contain an account of what might be called archeological scouting in New Mexico and Utah.

  • A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.
