"Undaunted, The Forgotten Giants of the Allegheny Observatory" tells the 150-year history of the largest astronomical observatory within the city limits of a major American city. This includes the amazing accomplishments of astronomers Samuel Pierpont Langley, James E. Keeler, and John A. Brashear, which helped the Allegheny Observatory become a leader in astronomical research and pioneer the new scientific field of Astrophyics.
