This review is from: Blue Babe: The Story of a Steppe Bison Mummy from Ice Age Alaska. (Paperback)

i am an avid paleontology enthusiast. i have read lots of books on the subject. i had gotten this back in the early 1990's and still,i pick up and read some of the passages of the finding of blue babe and other fossils. once you start reading this book, you won't want to put it down! it is scientific and amazing. it reads like one of the best alaskan stories. it is from the teller of the adventure and, almost from the animal's point of view. without giving anything away, i get a kick out of what miners were hanging their lamp on--not realizing what it was they were hanging it on! if you are a pleistocene faunal fan like i am---get this book!! and, as a side note, the bison was colored blue!
