The Legacy Of The Mastodon
Tells the story of the grandest period of fossil discovery in American history, the years from 1750 to 1890. This volume begins with Thomas Jefferson, whose keen interest in the American mastodon led him to champion the study of fossil vertebrates. It also provides descriptions of the actual work of prospecting for fossils.
