Download or read book The Diaries of a Bonedigger written by Harold Rogers Wanless and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the original writings and photography of renowned geologist Harold Rollin Wanless, this book paints a thorough and engaging picture of the White River Badlands’ landscape, geology, biology, pioneer settlers, and how life was lived 100 years ago in a harsh, challenging, remote setting. In the summer of 1920, Harold Rollin Wanless, fresh from an undergraduate geology degree at Princeton, spent the first of three summers in the Badlands of South Dakota camping, hiking, and collecting fossil vertebrate skulls. Harold produced a fascinating and thorough diary and report, illustrated with over 100 image plates, in which he explains the geology, biology, and climate of this famous area. Wanless became deeply involved with and vividly records the life, hopes, trials and character of the new homesteading pioneers of the area, and the people and livelihoods he encountered are reflected in the diary as well. This is an engaging look at the history, environment, people and geological character of a unique portion of the American West. Combining a first-hand look at the White River Badlands and its people a century ago with the fossil history contained in its Cenozoic sediments gives a well-rounded historical presentation. This diary was found, compiled, and edited by Drs. Harold Rogers Wanless (the diarist’s son and an accomplished geologist himself) and Emmett Evanoff. In the introductory and concluding chapters of this book, they provide a broader perspective of Harold Rollin Wanless’s life and his significant achievements beyond the Badlands venture described here. In addition, this narrative - written “only” a century ago - provides a stark contrast with how we travel, communicate, conduct research and survive today, yet shows that human curiosity and kindnesses have not changed.

Book excerpt: He didn't need a star on his chest when he had bullets in his gun. It was called No Man's Land, a notorious stretch of hell on the eastern end of the Oklahoma Territory. This was Indian country, and it was where Caddo Pierce and his gang of Indian outlaws had chosen to roam. Pierce knew the law—federal lawmen could not arrest Indians unless they committed crimes against whites—and he took advantage of it. Cutting a swath of murder and rape through Oklahoma, Caddo knew he could not be pursued by federal marshals or Texas Rangers. The only thing he hadn't counted on—Quint McCannon. McCannon has reached a dark point in his life. Troubled by the loss of his wife and son, his failure as a cattle rancher, and the endless bitter trail he seems to be riding, Quint is looking for a way out. He sees that exit when a judge informs him that a chief of the Indian Police has asked for help in stopping these killers, assistance that cannot be officially supported by the law. McCannon knows it is a suicide mission—one man without a star against a cadre of murderers—but he can't refuse the call for help. Either he will bring back Caddo Pierce or his days of pain will be over.

Download or read book The Second Jurassic Dinosaur Rush written by Paul D. Brinkman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The so-called “Bone Wars” of the 1880s, which pitted Edward Drinker Cope against Othniel Charles Marsh in a frenzy of fossil collection and discovery, may have marked the introduction of dinosaurs to the American public, but the second Jurassic dinosaur rush, which took place around the turn of the twentieth century, brought the prehistoric beasts back to life. These later expeditions—which involved new competitors hailing from leading natural history museums in New York, Chicago, and Pittsburgh—yielded specimens that would be reconstructed into the colossal skeletons that thrill visitors today in museum halls across the country. Reconsidering the fossil speculation, the museum displays, and the media frenzy that ushered dinosaurs into the American public consciousness, Paul Brinkman takes us back to the birth of dinomania, the modern obsession with all things Jurassic. Featuring engaging and colorful personalities and motivations both altruistic and ignoble, The Second Jurassic Dinosaur Rush shows that these later expeditions were just as foundational—if not more so—to the establishment of paleontology and the budding collections of museums than the more famous Cope and Marsh treks. With adventure, intrigue, and rivalry, this is science at its most swashbuckling.
