The life of a fossil hunter
Charles Hazelius Sternberg and Henry Fairfield Osborn
Charles Sternberg dug dinosaurs and sea monsters from the American West and lived to tell it. His fossil-hunting memoir runs from the Dakota Cretaceous to the Kansas chalk and the bad lands, including expeditions with the famous Professor Cope. Adventure, hardship, and the thrill of unearthing ancient bones. A firsthand classic of paleontology in the field. Ride out with the fossil hunters.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
