Samuel Colt

The Industrial Revolution started in 18th century and ended in the first half of the 19th century. Samuel Colt was born 19 July 1814 in Hartford, Connecticut, United States and he died on January 10, 1862 in Hartford, Connecticut. He died a wealthy man. He started his idea of the revolver on a yearlong voyage on the ship Corvo in 1830, where he made designs of his first revolver out of wood. In 1836 Samuel Colt received a U.S. patent for a revolver mechanism that would enable any gun to shoot multiple shots at one time. At first the business did not go so well, until April 1846 when the Mexican war occurred and the U.S. military ordered 1,000 Colt revolvers. In 1855-1856, Samuel Colt had opened what was the world’s largest private armament…

Why do Americans love guns? Oliver Winchester and Samuel Colt have answered this question by becoming two of the greatest gun manufacturers in the world. Both men have come up with innovations that have changed the world of guns forever. To many they are an icon of death or even mass genocide in many people’s eyes. However, the gun world classifies these two as heroes for their advances in technology. From the troubled life of textile manufacturers in their child life to their adult life…

During the mid to late 1800s, many companies - such as the Henry Repeating Arms Company and Smith and Wesson - emerged, revolutionizing the firearms industry forever.

organization, is Tom Brady. Brady, whom is one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks is commonly recognized in a lot of different ways. The many mixed emotions about Brady oppose to his abilities on the field, are a concern to many, and amazing to the others. He is pointed at as the greatest quarterback of all time, a cheater, a cry baby, a celebrity, and a role model for many. In my eyes, he is hands down the greatest quarterback to ever touch a football field. In this paper, I will validate my…

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Just one day after President Donald Trump spoke out against NFL players kneeling in protest during the national anthem, Jets players, backed by the support of owner Christopher Johnson and head coach Todd Bowles, linked arms and stood together in solidarity during the playing of the national anthem. The statement made was heard loud and clear as the Jets trumped the Miami Dolphins 20-6 with the help of a young, and ‘widely unknown’, receiving core including Robby…

Week 2 in the NFL has come and gone. As with many teams, I feel like I didn’t give it my best effort in the first week. But I’m getting back in the swing of things and I know it’s more important to finish strong. So hopefully this week’s breakdown will be better than the last one, but not as good as the next one. No team can win it all in the first few weeks, but the wheels can come off at anytime. The early part of the season is all about staying relevant and putting yourself in a position…

Oh what a difference a beard make, the New York Jets three weeks ago was written off out of the playoff picture the Jets who started the season 4-2 through the first 6 games was posed to be serious threat. However after finishing 5-5 through 11 weeks there was grumbles of replacing Ryan Fitzpatrick as quarterback with Geno (yes I said Geno) smith from the fan base, which after Fitzpatrick trimmed his beard the jets turn right back around and are on current three game winning streak since. Key…

I know that sounds crazy but hear me out for a second. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are ready to make NFL history by appearing in their seventh super bowl. Tom is going for his fifth ring, which will give him more rings than any other quarterback separating himself from Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw. With a number of Super Bowl wins, countless records, this is the time to pull the trigger and move Brady. Well, sort of. In my opinion, I would trade Tom Brady but only under one…
