Animal
Heroes
by
Ernest
Thompson
Seton
Note
to
Reader
A
hero
is
an
individual
of
unusual
gifts
and
achievements.
Whether
it
be
man
or
animal,
this
definition
applies;
and
it
is
the
histories
of
such
that
appeal
to
the
imagination
and
to
the
hearts
of
those
who
hear
them.
In
this
volume
every
one
of
the
stories,
though
more
or
less
composite,
is
founded
on
the
actual
life
of
a
veritable
animal
hero.
The
most
composite
is
the
White
Reindeer.
This
story
I
wrote
by
Utrovand
in
Norway
during
the
summer
of
1900,
while
the
Reindeer
herds
grazed
in
sight
on
the
near
uplands.
The
Lynx
is
founded
on
some
of
my
own
early
experiences
in
the
backwoods.
It
is
less
than
ten
years
since
the
'Jack
Warhorse'
won
his
hero-crown.
Thousands
of
"Kaskadoans"
will
remember
him,
and
by
the
name
Warhorse
his
coursing
exploits
are
recorded
in
several
daily
papers.
The
least
composite
is
Arnaux.
It
is
so
nearly
historical
that
several
who
knew
the
bird
have
supplied
additional
items
of
information.
The
nest
of
the
destroying
Peregrines,
with
its
owners
and
their
young,
is
now
to
be
seen
in
the
American
Museum
of
Natural
History
of
New
York.
The
Museum
authorities
inform
me
that
Pigeon
badges
with
the
following
numbers
were
found
in
the
nest:
9970-S,
1696,
U.
63,
77,
J.
F.
52,
Ex.
705,
6-1894,
C
20900.
Perhaps
some
Pigeon-lover
may
learn
from
these
lines
the
fate
of
one
or
other
wonderful
flier
that
has
long
been
recorded
"never
returned."
