U.S. Coast Survey Sketch showing the geology of the Coast of Labrador by Oscar M. Lieber of the Eclipse Expedition, Late State Geologist of South Carolina [The cruise of the Bibb along the Labrador Coast]
Oscar Montgomery Lieber (1830–1862) was a German-American geologist, born in Boston, Massachusetts. He studied at the Universities of Berlin and Göttingen, and the Freiberg School of Mines in Germany. Lieber served as State Geologist of Mississippi (1850–1851), worked on the geological survey of Alabama (1854–1855), and held the post of mineralogical, geological, and agricultural surveyor of South Carolina from 1856 to 1860. In 1860, he joined the American astronomical expedition to Labrador as a geologist—an event sometimes referred to as the Eclipse Expedition, likely organized to observe a solar eclipse. With the outbreak of the American Civil War, Lieber joined the Confederate Army and was mortally wounded at the Battle of Williamsburg, dying in Richmond, Virginia, in 1862.
