Beschreibung:
Charles H. Sternberg (June 15, 1850 - July 20, 1943) was an American fossil collector and paleontologist, active in both fields from 1876 to 1928, and collected fossils for Edward Drinker Cope, Othniel C. Marsh, the British Museum, the San Diego Natural History Museum, and other museums.
What was it like to search for fossilized remains back in the 1900s? While several advances have been made in the field of paleontology, a lot of the searching has remained much the same today. In his memoir, The Life of a Fossil Hunter, Charles H. Sternberg (1850-1943) provides us with a part scientific, part autobiography, and part adventure-like retelling of his discoveries, hardships, and close calls while searching and collecting fossils in the American West. A window into the life of an academic pioneer on the frontier.
