The Life of a Fossil Hunter: A Retelling of Life Spent Searching for Lifeforms of the Past

What was it like to search for fossilized remains back in the 1900s? While several advances have been made in the field of paleontology, a lot of the searching has remained much the same today. In his memoir, The Life of a Fossil Hunter, Charles H. Sternberg (1850-1943) provides us with a part scientific, part autobiography, and part adventure-like retelling of his discoveries, hardships, and close calls while searching and collecting fossils in the American West. A window into the life of an academic pioneer on the frontier.
