The title appears to have been borrowed from the title of the 1934 book of the same name by Carl Carmer.〔 Lewis Nichols, In and Out of Books, New York Times, Sept. 27, 1964.〕 It refers to a spectacular occurrence of the Leonid meteor shower that had been observed in Alabama in November of 1833, "the night the stars fell."〔(Southern Alabamian )〕 As reported by the Florence ''Gazette'': "(were ) thousands of luminous bodies shooting across the firmament in every direction. There was little wind and not a trace of clouds, and the meteors succeeded each other in quick succession."
