RE: 1865 Dark
This is an interesting topic and I have enjoyed reading others responses. I believe that most people today are losing perspective when it comes to interacting with the natural world. We live in an artificial (plastic) society. How many people today can look up at the night sky and point out Polaris? Or identify bird calls? I would be willing to bet that in the 19th century most people would have been able to do these things.

When we get in a car today and drive 100 miles down a long dark highway our experience is a lot different than a person traveling down a dark road in a wagon. They would have been in tune with the sounds of the night. We would be listening to the radio, or dare I say talking on a cell phone!
