In the 19th century, the world seemed comfortable, predictable, and understandable. But everything changed when a 12-year-old boy in Massachusetts accidentally stumbled upon a set of fossilized footprints the size of dinner plates—the first dinosaur tracks ever discovered. Soon, scientists began discovering human-sized bones everywhere, astonishing the imagination. No one could have imagined that giant monsters, like the dragons of ancient myths and children's fairy tales, once roamed our planet.

In this book, renowned historian Edward Dolnick takes readers on a captivating journey through prehistory and the 19th century, which ushered in the dinosaurs. This is a fascinating exploration of how paleontologists and amateur enthusiasts, like detectives, pieced together the fossil record and transformed disparate finds into the dinosaur story we know today.
