Clean, tight, unmarked; a couple of tiny stains inside front cover; light wear with a few closed tears to edges of dust jacket; very dark green cloth covers with gilt title on spine; very minimal wear; Barnum - the name doesn't make one think of paleontology, but Barnum Brown, named at the suggestion of his older brother, Frank, who idealized the showman P.T. Barnum, was known as the Father of Dinosaurs. He made jaunts to lands as yet unexplored by Western man; he encountered flamboyant and loving women, politicos, royalty, and many communities at different levels of sophistication; he sought and discovered rare and wondrous ancient forms of life. This book is a vivid and heartwarming tribute to the author's late father. Dr. Brown candidly reveals the disappointments, triumphs, and temptations Barnum experienced throughout his life.
