Dark Days in America Total
20 Since 1706, Writer Says
By J. HUGH PRUETT
(Astronomer. Extension Division, Oregon Higher Education System)
Another "dark day in America" ha been added to the lint nf
20 already on record since 1706.
On Sunday, Sept. 24, 1950, the
aiaies, me meteorologically iavoraDle location for such phenome
na, was amiciea Dy a gloom so
deep that automobile lights had
to be turned on and afternoon
baseball games required artific
ial illumination. Dense smoke
from Canadian forest fires caus
ed the condition. Radio and
newspaper reports stated that
"the smoke brought the dark
ness of night to many cities at
midday."
In recent times, New York
city had a dark day fb. 23,
1923. In buildings, cabs and
street cars, artificial illumina
tion was a necessity. The air was
very stagnant, and what little
motiori it had was "in all direc
tions of the compass."
Western Washington had a
"day of gloom" Sept. 12, 1902.
Lurid skies, due to high smoke
from extensive forest fires,
greeted early risers. By noon,
although there was little smoke
under the clouds, It was "utter
ly Impossible to read out of
doors." One man attempting to
drive his team a mile had to bor
row a lantern. He declared It
was "as dark as the darkest of
nights."
A great deal was made nf
"black Friday" of May 19, 1780,
over New England. First hand
accounts indicate that some
other dark days were Just as
black and some more extensive.
Black Friday likely had "a bet
ter press". Prof. Samuel Wil
liams of Harvard university, a
witness of the event, after wide
study of the conditions, gave
this report:
