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.
