The golden days of dinosaur discoveries. In the still-Wild West, fossils of a monstrous size are being uncovered by America's two greatest bone-hunters, Professors Marsh and Cope.

Drawn into a web of corruption and murder, they are forced on a desperate hunt for a box of mysterious fossils - a quest filled with danger, adventure and extraordinary discoveries.
A spring turkey season in Alabama starts on March 20 and ends on the last day of April...it can begin with wisp of snow and end with a heat wave. For those who are no longer in the first flush of youth, and still find it is their bounded duty to hunt everyday, the seson seems to last two days longer than eternity. This endearing book covers that span of one of these continuums, recorded almost a day at a time. This particular season is neither good nor bad, successful nor un-successful, always mixed, always special unto itself, because there is no such thing as a normal season, or an average day, or a usual hunt. Through Tom Kelly's watchful eyes, catching all the idiosyncrasies of the turkeys and turkey hunters he sees, this is one season you'll never forget.

This book is a collection of stories written by one of America's most traveled and experienced turkey hunters; a man who has taken multiple toms from 49 states. Such a feat didn't come easily, so you might expect these pages to fairly drip with wise words of wisdom and sage advice on how to hunt those wily, elusive birds...and they do. However, "Doc" Weddle didn't write an instruction manual. Instead, he takes the reader on a trip down memory lane to recall exciting hunts which helped shape him into becoming the true "Turkey Man" that he is today. Novice or veteran readers alike will undoubtedly gain valuable knowledge here, but the author is first and foremost a storyteller, and he has written this book simply to entertain his audience in a manner reminiscent of outdoorsmen standing around campfires and sharing the colorful details of their hunts with cohorts and companions. Tom "Doc" Weddle is a carpenter from Bloomington, Indiana. Infected by the turkey hunting bug some 30 years ago, he is a man completely unable to resist the siren song of the wild turkey's mesmerizing gobble, and any springtime morning will likely find him in hot pursuit of his favorite gamebird. Unwilling to compromise those glorious months of March, April, or May by doing anything besides hunting, this fellow has long been one of the most die-hard turkey chasers in the nation. In fact, he stands tall amongst his peers by accounting for not just one, but two U.S. Slams (harvesting a wild turkey in every state except Alaska). Even more impressive is that Doc hunts without benefit of guides or outfitters, and the vast majority of his exploits take place on public lands. It won't hurt his feelings one bit if you call this guy a turkey hunting fanatic!

The 1960's were a time of racial conflict and military confrontation in Asia. After living in New York all his life, the Army transferred Jim Sheridan to a post in the Deep South. At this time the defenders of segregation were making their last stand in a vain attempt to bolster the status quo. His country was being ripped apart along racial lines by these acts. At the same time the war in Vietnam was escalating and opening another deep wound in the soul of his country. He didn't understand the rationality for either of these conflicts, but found himself in the middle of both. The emotional forces of love and hate generated by these conflicts shaped Sheridan from what he was into what he became.
