Silliman was a great guy of course, - but it seems this is the
perpetuation of the Jefferson misatribution and myth Unfortunately this
book is grossly inaccurate and poorly sourced. Totally errs on Thomas
Jefferson and paints Silliman as the man who invented meteoritics,
practically ignores Howard and all the rest...
Sigh - some things never change, two days ago we had this:
