The Gospel of the Redman Paperback / softback

This commemorative edition of THE GOSPEL OF THE REDMAN honours Ernest Thompson Seton renowned naturalist artist and founder of the Boy Scouts of America. It features: * A new introduction by Seton's daughter * A new Foreword by Paul Goble * Seton's American Indian Sketches * Photographs from throughout Seton's life * An extensive bibliography of his works. 'Much simplified the message Seton delivered for more than sixty years is that a proper understanding and respect for Nature can provide a type of antidote to many of the difficulties brought on by our modern technological world. And the spiritual traditions of the First Americans provide us with profound insights into the proper understanding of man's role in the universe. THE GOSPEL OF THE REDMAN presents Seton's message and the message of the American Indians in its essential form'. Although best known as a writer of animal stories he dedicated a large part of his life to helping the Indian wherever he could but more to helping the White man realise the value of the doctrines by which the Redman lived in the days of his unspoiled grandeur.
