Yale University students in 1872:

"The third Yale College Scientific Expedition was the smallest of the 4 student expeditions that O.C. Marsh took into the field. The plan of attack was to work the Cretaceous chalk around Fort Wallace and then later move base of operations to Wyoming. An Army escort commanded by Lieut. James W. Pope, and the assistance of Ed Lane as guide, were secured before the party set out from Fort Wallace that summer."

"The early portion of the field season, in Kansas, was especially successful. Specimens of both Hesperornis and Ichthyornis were discovered" . . . more

Othniel C. Marsh! A giant in American science. The Peabody Museum at Princeton stands as a testament to his work. The fact that you've posted this photograph tells me you know something of his competition with Edward Cope and the paleontological gold rush as the west opened up. Anyone who is not familiar with period and has the slightest interest in the development of paleontological exploration really need to read The Gilded Dinosaur by Mark Jaffe and The Bone Hunters by Url Lanham. They are both excellent reads.
