    Description of Banneker: The Afro-American Astronomer


    As a self-trained scientist, inventor, astronomer, and mathematician, Benjamin Banneker had few equals in early nineteenth century America. With the help of Murray, an assistant librarian for the Library of Congress and a pioneer of the Negro history movement, Allen compiled the information on Banneker’s life and work, presented in this volume.
