Description

No, this book is not merely about the Tombstone Pterodactyl and the notorious "Thunderbird photo". This book is in fact about every dinosaurian creature to ever have a rifle pointed at it by a cowpoke along the trail. Courtesy of real newspaper articles collected from the Pioneer Period, you'll marvel as pterodactyls invade Van Meter, Iowa; a plesiosaur attacks spelunkers in Arkansas; and ghost dinosaurs glide across the Badlands of South Dakota! In the pages ahead you'll ask yourself: Did Brigham Young really try to catch Utah's Bear Lake Monster? Did a Crow Medicine Man actually carry an enchanted Meganuera with him to Custer's Last Stand? Was the first Komodo Dragon discovered in 1910 Indonesia or 1883 Indiana? Are the Marfa Lights of Texas really just bioluminescent pterodactyls? What was the giant reptile that raced a stagecoach in Yellowstone? Did a carnivorous theropod kill a young boy in Crosswicks, Ohio? What kind of dinosaur crossed New Mexico's Jornada del Muerto? And finally, did the Tombstone Pterodactyl live on to terrify Utah in 1903? Straight from newspaper reports of yore, uncover the hidden history of dinosaurs in the Old West...
