James Craig Watson (1838-1880)
Abstract
Canadians feel a bittersweet pride when young people leave to make their fame and fortune in the United States. The life of the eminent nineteenth century astronomer, J. C. Watson, is another example from history that our brightest and best emigrate when educational and career opportunities are lacking at home.
