This is a remarkable story of the building of the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton in California.

The author details the personalities, the many unique circumstances, and the extraordinary production obstacles that were involved in the building of the first high-altitude astronomical observatory, which was finally opened as part of the University of California on June 1, 1888.
