Real "Father" of Revolver History and Colt's Early Life
The first US patent for a revolving firearm went to Samuel Colt, a Hartford native who, as a youth, sketched a wooden model on a voyage. He later secured foreign patents before his US patent dated December 28, 1835. Colt formed a company to manufacture, with a plant at Paterson New Jersey, and his revolvers saw warfare use starting in 1837 during the Florida Indian conflicts and the Mexican War, which spurred demand.
