About this ebook
Young Edmund Bennett’s rash wager drags him from Yale into the dusty, dangerous world of nineteenth-century paleontology and the American West. Under the stern eye of Professor O. C. Marsh, Bennett must learn photography, hard labor, and the strange loyalties of a fossil-hunting field crew.

Fans of historical adventure and scientific discovery will find vivid period atmosphere, moral conflict, and the brittle codes of honor that govern both scholars and outlaws as lives are remade on the open plains.
