“David Baron beautifully captures the awe, the magic, and the mystery of one particular eclipse, an event in 1878 that spurred on America to embrace the sciences. A superb contribution to the history of astronomy.” —Marcia Bartusiak, author of Einstein's Unfinished Symphony

The New York Times praised American Eclipse’s “stories of these three enterprising scientists (that) reflect the ambition and intellectual curiosity of the United States in the late-nineteenth-century when the country was trying to cement its place in the international scientific community.” Reflect on this history as a solar eclipse visits the United States while we read this book!
