Extract

The Amana meteorite, known also as Iowa County, Homestead, and West Liberty, is fully described in O. C. Farrington's 'Catalogue of the Meteorites of North America'. After the appearance of a brilliant meteor which on the night of February 12, 1875, passed with loud detonations from S.W. to N.E. over northern Missouri and southern Iowa, about 100 meteoric stones, weighing altogether some 500 lb., were found scattered over an elliptic area of about eighteen square miles from Amana in Amahs township to Boltonville in Iowa township, both in Iowa Co., Iowa.
