 | Marsh-Cope
The two primary players in this bit of history were Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope. Both were born into wealthy families and that gave them the freedom to follow their interests. They were educated in the United States and they met in Europe where they both went to further their education.
in spite of some obvious personality differences their mutual interest drew them together. Eventually that fell apart and bribery, theft, and the destruction of bones became a way of doing business as they attempted to out do the other. |
