520    A lively account of how dinosaurs became a symbol of 
       American power and prosperity and gripped the popular 
       imagination during the Gilded Age, when their fossil 
       remains were collected and displayed in museums financed 
       by North America's wealthiest business tycoons. Although 
       dinosaur fossils were first found in England, a series of 
       dramatic discoveries during the late 1800s turned North 
       America into a world center for vertebrate paleontology. 
       At the same time, the United States emerged as the world's
       largest industrial economy, and creatures like 
       tyrannosaurus, brontosaurus, and triceratops became 
       emblems of American capitalism. American dinosaurs 
       dominated the popular imagination, making front-page 
       headlines and appearing in feature films. Business tycoons
       like Andrew Carnegie and J. P. Morgan made common cause 
       with vertebrate paleontologists to capitalize on the 
       widespread appeal of dinosaurs, using them to project 
       American exceptionalism back into prehistory. Learning 
       from the show-stopping techniques of P. T. Barnum, museums
       exhibited dinosaurs to attract, entertain, and educate the
       public. By assembling the skeletons of dinosaurs into eye-
       catching displays, wealthy industrialists sought to cement
       their own reputations as generous benefactors of science, 
       showing that modern capitalism could produce public goods 
       in addition to profits. Behind the scenes, museums adopted
       corporate management practices to control the movement of 
       dinosaur bones, restricting their circulation to influence
       their meaning and value in popular culture. Tracing the 
       entwined relationship of dinosaurs, capitalism, and 
       culture during the Gilded Age, Lukas Rieppel reveals the 
       outsized role these giant reptiles played during one of 
       the most consequential periods in American history.--
