After detonations and appearance of fireball, about 30 stones fell over
an area of 10 by 3 miles; the largest stone weighed 103lb and the total
weight was about 500lb, E.B. Andrews et al., Am. J. Sci., 1860, 30,
p.103, 296. One of the stones killed a colt. Description and analysis,
J.L. Smith, Am. J.Sci., 1861, 31, p.87.
