| + | Samuel Colt died in Hartford, Connecticut on this day in 1862 at the mere age of 47. His father, Christopher Colt, had been a farmer in Connecticut, who moved his family to Hartford when he traded professions and got into business. Young Sam Colt had acquired a horse pistol at an early age and his fascination with it led him to his eventual life’s profession. Before he was done, his name would almost be synonymous with the [[revolver]], unquestionably his greatest invention. | ||
