From his stunning discovery of Tyrannosaurus rex one hundred years
ago to the dozens of other important new dinosaur species he found,
Barnum Brown led a remarkable life (1873-1963), spending most of it
searching for fossils - and sometimes oil - in every corner of the
globe. One of the most famous scientists in the world during the
middle of the twentieth century, Brown - who lived fast, dressed to
the nines, gambled, drank, smoked, and was known as a ladies' man -
became as legendary as the dinosaurs he uncovered. Barnum Brown
brushes off the loose sediment to reveal the man behind the legend.
Drawing on Brown's field correspondence and unpublished notes, and
on the writings of his daughter and his two wives, it discloses for
the first time details about his life and travels - from his youth
on the western frontier to his spying for the U.S. government under
cover of his expeditions. This absorbing biography also takes full
measure of Brown's extensive scientific accomplishments, making it
the definitive account of the life and times of a singular man and
a superlative fossil hunter.
