The Monster's Bones : The Discovery of T. Rex and How It Shook Our World

T. Rex.

One of the most iconic and fearsome creatures to ever walk the Earth. But how did the King of the Dinosaurs come to dominate our culture millennia after its extinction?

In this engaging young readers edition of The Monster’s Bones, David K. Randall journeys from prehistory to present day on a gripping, gritty expedition through the history of one of the world’s greatest scientific discoveries. At its heart are two men from vastly different backgrounds: socialite Henry Fairfield Osborn, the president of the fledgling—and struggling—American Museum of Natural History, and intrepid fossil hunter Barnum Brown, who blazed a path out of his small-town life in Kansas with an uncanny gift for uncovering dinosaur bones. When Brown digs up the first Tyrannosaurus rex in 1902, he sets in motion a ruthless race between millionaires, museums, cowboys, and bounty hunters eager to unearth the most formidable dinosaur in history for themselves. With the nation’s public in a frenzy over the discovery of this colossal creature, Brown and Osborn know that whoever claims the bones of the king first reigns supreme.

Compelling and immersive, The Monster’s Bones reveals how a monster of a bygone era ignited new understanding of our planet’s history and our place within it.
