One hundred and twenty five years ago, a great conservationist - and imposter - was born in East Sussex. Known as Grey Owl, he was one of Canada's first conservationists and is said to have saved the Canadian beaver from extinction.
But his beginnings in south-east England were a world apart from his public image as a celebrated writer and speaker on both sides of the Atlantic.
Born Archibald Stansfeld Belaney on 18 September 1888 in Hastings, he grew up enthralled by stories of Native Americans and moved to Canada aged 17 in search of a new life.
In some ways the story of Buffy Saint Marie is similar.
