Description:
Locked in a bitter rivalry that raged for nearly three decades, two preeminent paleontologists -- E.D. Cope and O.C. Marsh -- raced to track down the dinosaur bones that would prove the truth of Darwin's theory. Threatened by outlaws, Indians, financial ruin, and each other, they blazed new trails through American science in the Gilded Age.
