Dinosaur Wars

In the late 19th century, paleontologists Edward Cope and O.C. Marsh uncovered the remains of hundreds of prehistoric animals in the American West, including dozens of previously undiscovered dinosaur species. But the rivalry that developed between them would spiral out of control, permanently damaging their careers and threatening the future of American paleontology.

Watch Dinosaur Wars on PBS. See more from American Experience.

I read a book about these two rivals several years back. I keep a crude reading list and I see several titles that are similar, The bonehunters' revenge: Dinosaurs, The Dinosaur Heresies, and I remember Bill Bryson mentioning them in A Short History of Neary Everything. It is a great story.

When they were kids my husband and his sister found dinosaur bones on the ranch next door, they kept it secret, I think they're still there. I'll try playing the video early in the am to see if it works for me then. My connection is slow in the evening.

anytime you can watch any episode of  "American Experience", DO IT...it's interesting, engrossing, teaches you stuff and keeps your brain from turning to cheese
