Synopsis

Perfect for children aged six - 10, The Bone Wars tells the highly entertaining, true story of battle to be the most famous dinosaur hunter in the world!

It is based on fact, but reads like an adventure, and is illustrated throughout with pen and ink sketches, helping to exemplify the facts in the minds of young readers.

The Great Dinosaur Rush was an amazing time in American history, when the search for dinosaurs really began to get exciting. The two Chief Hunters, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, started out as friends, but their palaeontological obsession drove them apart. Greed lead to sneaky tactics such as spying, fakery and bribery, as each tried to beat the other to the next big dinosaur discovery.

Remembered for the good and the bad, these two men changed the face of American science forever.

Thoughtfully illustrated, bringing 19th Century America alive. Factually correct, thoroughly engaging, crammed full of solid reliable dinosaur facts and verified by award-winning palaeontologist, Dean R. Lomax.
