The Sun and the moon

the remarkable true account of hoaxers, showmen, dueling journalists, and lunar man-bats in nineteenth-century New York

Discusses the six tabloid articles which appeared in 1835 on the pages of a small New York City newspaper--the Sun--that supported claims of life existing on the Earth's moon, and describes unicorns, beavers that walk upright, and four-foot-tall flying man-bats.
