Thomas Jefferson: Third president of the United States. Author of the Declaration of Independence. Obsessive prehistoric mammal hunter?? It's true! In this little-known slice of American history, see Thomas Jefferson as never before! In the late 1700's, America was a new nation, with a vast west that held age-old secrets: Bones! Massive tusks and enormous animal skeletons were being discovered and Thomas Jefferson - politician AND scientist - was captivated. What were these giant beasts? Did they still roam on American soil? Jefferson needed to find out. Funding explorers, including the famed Lewis and Clark, Jefferson sought to find a complete prehistoric mastodon skeleton - one which would advance the young science of paleontology, but would also put this upstart young country on the world stage. Follow along on the incredible journey - full of triumphs and disappointments, discoveries and shipwrecks, ridicule and victory."-- provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Jefferson, Thomas, $d 1743-1826 $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Mastodons $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Fossils $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Extinction (Biology) $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Christoph, Jamey, $d 1980- $e illustrator. 700 1 $a Ransom, Candice F., $d 1952- $e donor. $5 AOW 941 $a 17 952 $l HQPD845 $d 20240516015037.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012030355.0 952 $l XCPB737 $d 20230414010635.0 952 $l WBPB115 $d 20230209022543.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201021511.0 952 $l VQPC384 $d 20230114015537.0 952 $l AEPA906 $d 20220728200308.0 $m P B 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211105010041.0 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20210904112202.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062926.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20210713010341.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20201110010439.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20201103010851.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20200812033835.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20200603015750.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20200410011529.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20200407021003.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1D0E852547711EA8C3FA95797128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
