Description

Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Browns had a duty to name their son. They had already named their two daughters after family members, so they turned to the Bible for inspiration. They chose a name that would guide the child on a safe and righteous path.
#2 The family lived out of their wagon while William built them a house. The small wooden house soon became a refuge, as the Kansas prairie was turned into a battlefield in the Civil War. With any money that was left over, the Browns traveled to the capital city of Topeka and visited the Great Traveling World’s Fair.
#3 When he was ten, Barnum began helping his mother around the house, and when he was old enough, he began accompanying his father on the family’s endless trips to find new coal seams. He began storing and collecting specimens, which became his first museum.
#4 The boy had stumbled onto the most pressing question in science: how did the Earth get its rocks and minerals. miners began to realize that the Earth was much older than a literal interpretation of the Bible would suggest.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The Browns had a duty to name their son. They had already named their two daughters after family members, so they turned to the Bible for inspiration. They chose a name that would guide the child on a safe and righteous path.

#2

The family lived out of their wagon while William built them a house. The small wooden house soon became a refuge, as the Kansas prairie was turned into a battlefield in the Civil War. With any money that was left over, the Browns traveled to the capital city of Topeka and visited the Great Traveling World’s Fair.

#3

When he was ten, Barnum began helping his mother around the house, and when he was old enough, he began accompanying his father on the family’s endless trips to find new coal seams. He began storing and collecting specimens, which became his first museum.

#4

The boy had stumbled onto the most pressing question in science: how did the Earth get its rocks and minerals. miners began to realize that the Earth was much older than a literal interpretation of the Bible would suggest.

#5

The oldest and deepest layer he called primary rocks, which contained formations such as granite that contained no trace of life. Above those he identified transition rocks, which included slate and graywacke and the first appearance of fossils.

#6

Geology was a new science that revealed the Earth to be much older than previously thought, and it was not long before treasure hunters began to pay attention.

#7

Barnum Brown was a teenager when he moved to Carbondale, where the only excitement was updated grain prices or the inevitable side effects of a hive of eighteen saloons catering to the town’s two thousand inhabitants. He was tall, lean, and curious, and his twinkling blue eyes made him handsome.

#8

The Browns prepared a covered wagon and packed it with enough sugar, bacon, flour, beans, raisins, and coffee to last them four months on the plains. They headed north, waking up each morning before sunrise so that Barnum could prepare them breakfast while his father fed the team of horses.

#9

After the long, empty hours on the farm, Barnum was excited to move to Lawrence and attend the university. He packed his shells from his personal museum to take with him.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Lawrence, Kansas, was settled in 1854 by abolitionists who wanted to make it free by their own voice and vote. It was burned by Confederate guerrillas in 1865, but rebuilt itself in months. In 1865, the University of Kansas was founded.

#2

Barnum Brown was a student at the University of Kansas in 1893, and he was not a natural scholar. He was more attuned to the social aspects of the university than to its academic demands.

#3

During his time as a student, Brown began to pursue the explanations that had eluded him as a boy. He went to the office of the professor who had changed his life, Samuel Wendell Williston, who was the son of migrants who came to Kansas in search of better opportunities.

#4

The term dinosaur dates to 1842, when a wealthy professor of anatomy named Richard Owen published a paper in which he argued that a new term was needed for the strange, enormous bones that were popping up throughout England. He landed on it by combining the Greek word deinos, which means terrible or fearfully great, with sauros, which means lizard.

#5

The focus on the anatomical structure of life led Owen to consider the intent of its Creator. Were all species just as God had originally made them, with the strong jaws and narrow vision of a carnivore a sign that they were designed for predation, or did lifeforms change over time.
