About this item

"Eons past an ancient creature the size of a bunk house lived out a solitary life and died all alone in a rugged prehistoric canyon. Millennia later that canyon would occupy an isolated corner of C. L. McSween's Rocking S Ranch. It might have gone on for millennia future untouched if not for McSween's plan to dam the canyon up to provide water for his cattle. Paleontology is a brand new science in 1877 and when Samuel Cobsworth a paleontologist from back east discovers the cache of bones from this long-dead Jurassic monster he considers them a priceless treasure trove. C. L. McSween and his daughter Libby don't see it that way. They're concerned only about ensuring their cattle's survival during the next drought. On top of that McSween is a superstitious ex-mountain man.
