...or should I posthumously say happy birthday to the creator of the Peacemaker! Today is Samuel Colt's birthday. He was born on July 19, 1814 and died in January 1862. While he lived a short life, dying at 47, he certainly made a major impact on the world with his invention of the modern revolver. (No, he did not invent the revolver just the one that was used in modern times as opposed to an earlier flintlock version.)

Hat tip to Chris L for having a birthday wish to Colt on his FB page.
All the best,
