Barnum Brown



Barnum Brown (1873-1963) was possibly the greatest dinosaur hunter of the 20th century. He began working as an assistant to Henry Fairfield Osborn in 1897, and many people remarked on his uncanny ability to sniff out fossils.

Brown discovered numerous species of dinosaurs and other animals. His most famous discovery was the first Tyrannosaurus Rex ever found, in 1902 in Montana. (The name, Tyrannosaurus Rex, was later chosen by Henry Fairfield Osborn).

Product Description:
From his stunning discovery of Tyrannosaurus rex one hundred years ago to the dozens of other important new dinosaur species he found, Barnum Brown led a remarkable life (1873-1963), spending most of it searching for fossils--and sometimes oil--in every corner of the globe. One of the most famous scientists in the world during the middle of the twentieth century, Brown--who lived fast, dressed to the nines, gambled, drank, smoked, and was known as a ladies' man--became as legendary as the dinosaurs he uncovered. Barnum Brown brushes off the loose sediment to reveal the man behind the legend. Drawing on Brown's field correspondence and unpublished notes, and on the writings of his daughter and his two wives, it discloses for the first time details about his life and travels--from his youth on the western frontier to his spying for the U.S. government under cover of his expeditions. This absorbing biography also takes full measure of Brown's extensive scientific accomplishments, making it the definitive account of the life and times of a singular man and a superlative fossil hunter.

Product Description:
An intense drought forces Titanus, the father of a family of Tyrannosauruses Rex to go north in search of a new refuge. During the trip, the family witness the rising of the Rocky Mountains, volcanic eruptions, births of rivers and other natural marvels.

On the way, they face fierce velociraptors that look forward to revenge, after one of them is hurt in a struggle with Rexy, the older son of Titanus.

However, after an incredible cosmic event, the family must continue its way northwards, still far from the safety of their new refuge in Yellowstone.

Will the tyrannosauruses reach their target? Will the velociraptors fulfill their threat of revenge?

In a tale of Tyrannosauruses, the author not only narrates us the adventure, but reminds us of our responsibilities to Mother Nature. With his accustomed narrative and agile and simple style, the author takes us, as always, to a surprising and unexpected end.

Product Description:
Lilian Brown shares her early adventures with husband Barnum Brown (curator, American Museum of Natural History) on his paleontological expeditions to India and Burma. The focus here is not on Barnum's scientific discoveries, but on the curious cultures and people they encountered as they camped and traveled. From pets to parties, her descriptions of life on a long expedition (often waiting for Barnum to return from his "lone wolf" forays for fossil beds) shows a very different side than you'll find in an academic journal.
