| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Holcomb, Fitz, and Peate: Three 19th Century American Telescope Makers" by Multhauf et al. is a historical account that delves into the lives and contributions of three notable American telescope makers during the 19th century. Written in the mid-20th century, this book highlights the evolution of telescope manufacturing in the United States, a significant period when America began to move away from reliance on European-made instruments. The main focus is to illuminate the often-overlooked innovations and achievements of Amasa Holcomb, Henry Fitz, and John Peate in the context of astronomical advancement in America. The book is structured in three main biographical sketches, offering readers insight into the professional journeys and achievements of each telescope maker. Amasa Holcomb is remembered for successfully creating and selling American-made telescopes in an era marked by European dominance in the field. Henry Fitz emerged as a highly regarded instrument maker whose telescopes gained recognition for their quality and performance, including one that contributed to notable astronomical expeditions. Lastly, John Peate, an amateur and Methodist minister, undertook the audacious task of creating the largest glass reflector of his time, aiming to inspire astronomical study in educational institutions. Through these narratives, the authors not only celebrate their achievements but also document the growth of American scientific instrument-making during a pivotal era.
