Default Telescope Maker Histories!

I am looking for books/histories of early telescope makers such as
Clark, Brashear, Fitz, etc. If you know where I can find any please let me
know. Thanks!

I have a Dover book that may do:

"The History of the Telescope" by Henry C. King ISBN 0-486-23893-8

All the names below ARE in the index.

A very interesting book, to me.

Ed,

Try a search on bookfinder.com or some other search site for used books for
"John Brashear An Autobiography."

King's book, mentioned before, is well worth owning.

Clear skies, Alan
