Book Description
Wild Animals I Have Known By Ernest Thompson Seton THESE STORIES are true. Although I have left the strict line of historical truth in many places, the animals in this book were all real characters. They lived the lives I have depicted, and showed the stamp of heroism and personality more strongly by far than it has been in the power of my pen to tell. I believe that natural history has lost much by the vague general treatment that is so common. What satisfaction would be derived from a ten-page sketch of the habits and customs of Man? How much more profitable it would be to devote that space to the life of some one great man. This is the principle I have endeavored to apply to my animals. The real personality of the individual, and his view of life are my theme, rather than the ways of the race in general, as viewed by a casual and hostile human eye. This may sound inconsistent in view of my having pieced together some of the characters, but that was made necessary by the fragmentary nature of the records. There is, however, almost no deviation from the truth in Lobo, Bingo, and the Mustang. Contents LOBO, The King of Currumpaw SILVERSPOT, The Story of a Crow RAGGYLUG, The Story of a Cottontail Rabbit BINGO, The Story of My Dog THE SPRINGFIELD FOX THE PACING MUSTANG WULLY, The Story of a Yaller Dog REDRUFF, The Story of the Don Valley Partridge

Book Description
This best-selling book announced the arrival of a vastly popular new literary genre, of which Thompson was the virtual inventor and preeminent practitioner: the emotionally-gripping, fictional and anthropomorphic but supposedly realistic "nature story" with animal and bird heroes. (Thompson is perhaps better known as Ernest Thompson Seton, the name he adopted later in life.) Lesser followers, such as William J. Long, clearly carried sentimental anthropomorphism to the point of absurdity, and John Burroughs attacked Thompson/Seton himself as one such "nature faker" (he later apologized, but continued to insist on the strong fictional element in Thompson/Seton's work). Nevertheless, it is also clear that Thompson/Seton was genuinely committed to fostering a sense of moral obligation toward wildlife, and that through this and the string of similar books which followed over the next two decades, he enlisted the imaginative sympathies of tens of thousands of readers, whom soberer scientific writers and other conservationists would never have reached, in ardent concern for the natural world and its creatures.

Book Description
2018 Reprint of 1898 Edition. Illustrated. A stirring account of the lives of eight wild animals, including Lobo, the king of Currumpaw; Silverspot, the story of a crow; Raggylug, the story of a cottontail rabbit; Bingo, the story of a dog; the Springfield fox; the pacing mustang; Wully, the story of a yaller dog; and Redruff, the story of the Don valley partridge. Ernest Thompson Seton was a naturalist and author. This collection of stories created a new genre of realistic wild-animal fiction. It quickly became one of the most popular books of its day. "Lobo the King of Currumpaw," the first story in the collection, was based upon Seton's experience hunting wolves in the southwestern United States. It became a classic, setting the tone for his future works that would similarly depict animals--especially predators who were often demonized in literature--as compassionate, individualistic beings.

There is, however, almost no deviation from the truth in Lobo, Bingo, and the Mustang.Lobo lived his wild romantic life from 1889 to 1894 in the Currumpaw region, as the ranchmen know too well, and died, precisely as related, on January 31, 1894.Bingo was my dog from 1882 to 1888, in spite of interruptions, caused by lengthy visits to New York, as my Manitoban friends will remember. And my old friend, the owner of Tan, will learn from these pages how his dog really died.The Mustang lived not far from Lobo in the early nineties. The story is given strictly as it occurred, excepting that there is a dispute as to the manner of his death. According to some testimony he broke his neck in the corral that he was first taken to. Old Turkeytrack is where he cannot be consulted to settle it.
