C. Marsh and E. D. Cope raced for the discovery of the most spectacular dinosaur fossils the world had ever seen. The "Bone Wars" not only unearthed triceratops, stegosaurus, and brontosaurus, they also made US paleontology world-famous. This book analyzes international scientific networks, carves out German influences on the evolution of US paleontology and higher education, and examines the link between the rise of US nationalism and science. So-far neglected by scholars, the perspectives of O. C. Marsh's German assistants take center stage. 517 $aWorked to the Bone 606 $aLiterary theory$2bicssc 610 $a1860-1900 610 $aCultural history 610 $aGilded Age 610 $aHistory of knowledge 610 $aHistory of paleontology 610 $aUSA 615 7$aLiterary theory 700 $aWendler$b Philipp$4auth$01278274 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585995003321 996 $aWorked to the Bone$93013003 997 $aUNINA
