The Day America Stopped Time: The Forgotten Sunday of 1883

Описание: The Day America Stopped Time: The Forgotten Sunday of 1883

There was a single, forgotten day in American history when the sun was told to wait. Before November 1883, the United States was a chaotic patchwork of over 300 different local times, all dictated by the simple shadow of a town square sundial. If you boarded a steam locomotive in New York, your pocket watch would be completely wrong by the time you reached Boston! As the massive transcontinental railroad connected the wild American West, this confusing symphony of hours threatened to break the expanding nation. To save the country, they had to attempt the impossible: they had to legally stop time itself. But what exactly happened on that misty Sunday morning?
