Discovering Dinosaurs in the Old West: The Field Journals of Arthur Lakes

Professor Arthur Lakes taught in a mining school in Golden, Colorado, a facility that would become the Colorado School of Mines.  As Oxford University alumnus, he recorded in words and sketches the exciting discovery of dinosaur remains in the wilderness of Colorado and Wyoming between 1877 and 1880.  His field journals vividly capture the excitement of unearthing the enormous vertebrae, femurs, humeri, ribs, teeth, and claws of apatosaurus (brontosaurus), stegosaurus, and allosaurus as well as the bones of other Mesozoic-era creatures.
