Who was its inventor, William Burt, and how did he come to invent an instrument used to fulfill Thomas Jefferson's dream of westward expansion? Learn how the solar compass relates to U.P. history. Join Mark Montgomery as he shares insights from his paper presented to the North American Sundial Society in December 2023.
