This eclipse was visible at sunrise at a path across northeastern [[Asia]] and passed across [[Alaska]], western [[Canada]], and the United States from [[Montana]] through [[Texas]]. It then tracked across most of [[Cuba]] and southwestern [[Hispaniola]] before ending.

Newspapers in the United States reported of large migrations from the [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]] towards the path of totality to view the eclipse. Scientists observing from [[Pikes Peak]] in Colorado contended with [[altitude sickness]] and snowstorms, among other problems.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Ruskin|first=Steve|date=2008|title='Among the Favored Mortals of Earth': The Press, State Pride, and the Great Eclipse of 1878|journal=Colorado Heritage}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |last=Waxman |first=Olivia B. |date=August 18, 2017 |title=Think This Total Solar Eclipse Is Getting a Lot of Hype?
