Cowboys & Saurians: Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Beasts As Seen By The Pioneers: 1

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.

In the pages ahead youll ask yourself: Did Brigham Young really try to catch Utahs Bear Lake Monster? Did a Crow Medicine Man actually carry an enchanted Meganuera with him to Custers Last Stand?

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 Mexicos 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...
