[meteorite-list] Weston Meteorite and Benjamin Silliman Revisted: Scholarly Reviews of "A professor, a president, and a meteor"

[MexicoDoug]

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:

Kindest wishes
