Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When David and his parents arrive in Lusk, Wyoming, in 1889, they are not welcomed with open arms. As Chinese immigrants, they are all too familiar with the discrimination they immediately encounter at the general store. Nonetheless, their need to earn money before continuing eastward leads them to find work at John Bell Hatcher's archaeological dig site just outside of town. Soon David learns that the brilliant paleontologist is on the hunt for dinosaur bones! Can he help Hatcher make the dino discovery of a lifetime?
In their long journey from San Francisco to Lusk, Wyoming, in 1889, David (Siu-Long) Wong and his parents have encountered terrible prejudice because they are Chinese immigrants; but here they are given a job at John Bell Hatcher's paleontological excavation digging up dinosaur bones, including an eight-foot long Triceratops skull, and David becomes fascinated by dinosaurs and resolves to become a paleontologist. Includes historical note on J.B. Hatcher.
