Eli Lilly, a Life, 1885-1977The story of the Dudley Observatory is here told in detail, from its beginning in 1851 through eight years of tragicomic conflict. The author argues that differing perceptions of authority, responsibility, and accountability lie at the heart of the controversy and do much to explain relationships between nineteenth-century American scientists and the larger community. A biography of the drug magnate based on personal and business papers and interviews with people who knew him. Chronicles his early life and education, his business career, and his later interest in archaeology and history. Published for the Indiana Historical Society by IUP.
