The Original Boy Scout Redington of Oregon
Old Pacific Northwest editor and cavalry scout Jack Redington, once called the original Boy Scout by Gen C C Howard, forged a frontier life from sixteen when he ran away from Massachusetts to fight in the Nez Perce and Bannock campaigns, later becoming a prominent Salem Oregon publisher. His feats paralleled legendary endurance tales like Tom Robb and Aubrey, reflecting a life of daring travel, scouting, and press leadership in the West.
