"American Eclipse" tells the story of the total solar eclipse of July 29, 1878, which crossed the wilds of America's western frontier. The judges had trouble putting Baron's book down, stating that it was more than an eclipse story. It captured the excitement of a young nation exploring the frontiers of science as well as an entire continent. [AIP.org]
