19. 1780 .... Near eleven o'clock, it began to grow dark, as if night were
coming. Men ceased their work; the lowing cattle came to the barns, the
bleating sheep huddled by the fences, the wild birds screamed and flew
to their nests, the fowls went to their roosts .... At night it was so inky
white sheet of paper.  - "History of Weare, New Hampshire, 1735-1888."
(Boston Public Library).

During the whole time, a sickly melancholy gloom overcast the face of
nature:- Nor was the darkness of the night less uncommon and terrifying
than that of the day; notwithstanding there was almost a full moon, no
object was discernible, but the help of some artificial light, which, when
seen from the neighboring houses and other places at a distance,
appeared thro' a kind of Egyptian darkness, which seemed impervious to
the rays.- "The Independent Chronicle" (Boston). June 8, 1780. P4.

Herschel the great astronomer frankly admits:

The Dark Day, May 19, 1780, is one of those wonderful phenomena of
nature which will always be read with interest but which philosophy is
at a loss to explain.
