| Abstract | Indicates that James Darrach will be in attendance with the mastodon to answer all questions of visitors. This nearly complete mastodon skeleton, known as the Warren mastodon, was exhumed by Nathaniel Brewster and A. J. Prime from Orange County, New York, the same county in which Charles Willson Peale had found his mastodon remains nearly fifty years earlier (see #71 above). After mounting by Prime, the skeleton was exhibited in New York State and in various New England towns before being sold to Dr. John Collins Warren of Boston. Warren's heirs, in turn, sold the remains to the American Museum of Natural History in 1907. | ||
