In 1801, giant bones were found on a farm in New York, and no one knew what they were. Dinosaurs were unknown. Yet when Charles Willson Peale, founder of the first American Natural History Museum, dug through muck, cave-ins, and floods, he discovered the skeleton of a creature no one had ever seen before. At the age of 60, Peale assembled the first mastodon skeleton--and changed the face of science forever. This is his story.
