Biographical History
American astronomer. Graduated Harvard, 1844; University of Göttingen (Germany), 1848. He returned to the United States with the hope of establishing an era for astronomy. In 1849 he founded and became the first editor of the "Astronomical Journal." In 1855, he became director of the Dudley Observatory. A public controversy arose when he disagreed with the Scientific Council and Trustees of the Observatory as to management of the facility. He was terminated as director in 1859. From this time until 1872, Gould remained in Cambridge, Massachusetts, married Mary Apthorp Quincy and continued work on star observations. In 1870 he commissioned the establishment of the National Observatory at Córdoba, Argentina. It was here that he conducted the studies and observations later published in 'Uranometria Argentina'(1879) and 'Resultados del Observatorio Nacional Argentino En Córdoba' (1879-1896). Upon his return from Argentina Gould restablished the 'Astronomical Journal' (suspended since 1861) with the assistance of Seth A. Chandler. Later, following Gould's death in 1896, Chandler completed the publication of 'Resultados.'
