"Modern Dragon Hunter" (by Roy Chapman Andrews) describes paleontologists discovering a dinosaur egg and mammoth bones in the Gobi Desert, which are later reconstructed for museum display. "John Fremont" chronicles the frontier explorer and presidential candidate who, nominated in 1856 as the first Republican presidential nominee on an anti-slavery platform, later served as a Union general during the Civil War when California sided with the North.
