J.M. Gilliss' account of the 1860 total eclipse of the sun is a fascinating insight into the scientific and astronomical knowledge of the time. Drawing on his observations made near Steilacoom, Gilliss provides a vivid description of the eclipse and its effects on the natural world. The book includes detailed illustrations and maps from the report of the Superintendent of the United States Coast Survey. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of astronomy and the study of natural phenomena.
