Thirty-two black-and-white illustrations and one black-and-white folding map tipped in back, complete. Pages are virtually pristine and intact except for light age toning. Covers are very clean and intact except for light rubbing, a few faint spots of discoloration on front and back, a few small scratches on back, and slight darkening along spine. A Fine copy. This is a travelogue by Samuel Hubbard Scudder (1837-1911), an American entomologist and paleontologist who specialized in the study of butterflies, grasshoppers, and insect paleontology. In this book, Scudder recounts his travels with an eclipse expedition in "Winnipeg Country." One of the central aims of the party was to view the total solar eclipse of July 18, 1860. The map in the back shows the approximate route that Scudder and the party took which traversed parts of Canada, "Dakota," and Minnesota. Scudder describes a variety of subjects including the viewing of the eclipse, interactions with Indigenous Peoples and other residents, local scenery, and trials and tribulations of the journey. …
