{untitled][edit]

The picture of Sternberg with the horse skull at the McKittrick Tar Pits cannot be the Frontispiece of "Life of a Fossil Hunter". That book was published in 1909, many years before Sternberg moved to California. The frontispiece to Fossil Hunter is a head shot of a much younger and leaner Charles H. Sternberg (available for download at Google Books). The picture does not appear in "Hunting Dinosaurs in the Bad Lands of the Red Deer River, Alberta, Canada", first published in 1917 (also available at Google Books). Nor does it appear in the third edition of "Hunting Dinosaurs" (1932), in which Sternberg added a chapter on his move to California and excavation at McKittrick. It does appear in such books as Katherine Rogers (1991) "The Sternberg Fossil Hunters." 144.39.6.3 (talk) 20:30, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Robbery of Chief Kamiakin's head[edit]

I think it should be noted in his wikipedia that Charles Hazelius Sternberg stole the head of Chief Kamiakin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.107.169 (talk) 03:41, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This doesn't appear to be something that can be substantiated. This source essentially cites an unnamed person who heard Sternberg say Kamiakin's head would look good at the Smithsonian, but assuming that the account is correct, it is not known who actually removed Kamiakin's head. That Sternberg removed Kamiakin's head is a rumor, and not verifiable. Emjackson42 (talk) 15:09, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
