The build-up of stellar mass in galaxies is the consequence of their paststar formation and merging histories. Here we report measurements of rest-frameoptical light and calculations of stellar mass at high redshift based on aninfrared-selected sample of galaxies from the Hubble Deep Field North. Thebright envelope of rest-frame B-band galaxy luminosities is similar from 0>2.Comment: To appear in the Astrophysical Journal. 35 pages, 8 figures, some in colo
