This is an extremely well done biography of the most prolific dinosaur discoverer of all time. It is well researched by the members of the Museum of Natural History who have access to original written materials & field notes of an extraordinary life spanning his whole career! This book will exhaust you just reading all this man accomplished and found, plus gathering military intelligence & world-wide geology. Great read.
