I have found 3 books that may be helpful if you can find them at your library. The research library at the Goddard Space Flight Center shows the following books:
"Atlas of historical eclipse maps for east asia 1500BC to 1900 AD" by F.R. Stephenson and M.A. Houlden, (Cambridge University Press) 1986. This is a book of maps of china showing the eclipse tracks, but includes no other geographic locations
"Canon of Eclipses" by Theodor Oppolzer, translated by Owen Gingerich in 1962. (Dover Books, New York). This book is one long table showing where all of the solar eclipses are from 1207BC to 2161 AD. You have to look up the month and year, and it gives the information you can use to plot the track of totality
"Canon of Solar Eclipses" by Jean Meeus and Hermann Mucke, (Astronomiches Buro, 1983) Vienna Austria, second edition. I haven't had a chance to look at this book yet.
Other places to look are back issues of Sky and Telescope. There have been articles on solar eclipses showing their ground tracks, but I don't recall if they go back too far in time. If I come across any other references, I will post them in a revised version of this response in the future.
