Rediscovering Ernest Thompson Seton: A joint film presentation in cooperation with the Manitoba Historical Society

Ernest Thompson Seton (1860-1946) is described by the US National Park Service as “one of America’s greatest naturalists.” This artist, widely read author and scientist was instrumental in bringing the Boy Scout movement to the United States. Less well known are the years he spent in Manitoba documenting all its animal life including mammals, birds, fishes, snakes, etc. He was an inspiration to Manitoba naturalists and in 1980, the MNS published Ernest Thompson Seton in Manitoba 1882-1892.
