Become a member! Join now to explore the full collection and immerse yourself in Seton’s remarkable literature.
This page includes many of Seton’s books that have been made available through the Internet Archive and Google Books. These services make books available under various arrangements and, generally, books in the public domain are available for download. We have accumulated the following volumes in Adobe PDF format and will be adding more as they become available.
Most of Seton’s works are in the public domain in the United States. Books not in the public domain, including Trail of an Artist Naturalist, The Gospel of the Redman, Woodcraft and Indian Lore, and Santana the Hero Dog of France may be available through your public library, at a used book shop, on an Internet selling site such as E-Bay or Amazon, or from a friend with print copy.
We encourage you to find hard copy editions of E. T. Seton’s books for yourself. Our bookstore page has link to Amazon.com for new books and a link to ABEBooks.com for used and antiquarian volumes.
Words of caution and encouragement: reading a digitized book is not really the same as reading an ink-on-paper book. While it is not exactly like reading these works in traditional book form, the price is right, and you have access to a wide range of books in Seton’s areas of interest.
Of particular interest, Seton’s Wild Animals I Have Known, has been in print continuously since 1898!
