William Wallace Campbell was born to simple and hardworking parents in Hancock County, Ohio in 1862 - a county that was barely post-frontier. His commanding intellect focused on a quest to bring definition to the enormous universe. His curiosity and energy were inexhaustible, his determination to accept nothing short of excellence unending. He has earned his own place among the great astronomers of the world - they who have laid the foundation's for today's - and tomorrow's - great discoveries.
