Synopsis
This classic memoir-first published in 1909 and long out of print-is part scientific autobiography, part adventure story, and all an authentic piece of Americana. It tells the story of Charles Sternberg and his life-long passion for dinosaur fossils. Sternberg writes vividly of his discoveries and of the hardships and dangers of collecting fossils in the wild West. His book is an extraordinary record of science in the rough and a unique view of life on the frontier.
