Synopsis
Discover the life of a fossil hunter through the eyes of one of America’s pioneering paleontologists.
This book follows Charles H. Sternberg as he travels the American West, uncovering fossils, braving hardships, and sharing the real work behind science and discovery. With an introduction by Henry Fairfield Osborn, it blends personal memoir with historical insight into the early days of paleontology.
Two vivid sections trace the beginnings of a young naturalist and a seasoned explorer: first, the Dakota Cretaceous and the Dakota Group discoveries, then an expedition to the Oregon desert that captures remote landscapes, team camaraderie, and the grit of field work. The narrative emphasizes the dedication, hardship, and meticulous care required to turn bone and stone into knowledge, museum-worthy specimens, and public understanding.- Follow the author from his boyhood fascination with fossils to field adventures across Kansas, Oregon, and beyond.
- Experience the realities of fossil hunting, from careful extraction to the epic scale of early American collections.
- See how scientific quests were shaped by partner institutions, maps, gear, and the changing American West.
- Learn how a fossil hunter balanced risk, endurance, and a deep love for nature.
