Bone Wars
by Tom Rea
Rea goes back to the late 19th century, looking at the early discoveries of some really spectacular dinosaur specimens in the American West. Up until this point all we knew about dinosaurs were a few pieces from Europe but we hadn’t found any complete skeletons of dinosaurs. Then suddenly, in the 1870s and 1880s, they were recovered in large numbers, in Colorado, Wyoming and other nearby states.
