A propos de cet article

157 pages. Cloth covered spine with the balance in pictorial paper. Rough cut page edges. Hardcover published without a dust jacket. "Sam Colt's Own Record of Transactions with Captain Walker and Eli Whitney, Jr. in 1847" compiles historical correspondence documenting the creation of the Colt Walker revolver. This collection details how a vital 1847 military contract saved Samuel Colt from bankruptcy, highlighting the collaboration with Capt. Samuel Walker and production challenges managed by Eli Whitney, Jr. The correspondence published in this volume completes the account of the manufacture in 1847 of the Walker model of the Colt revolver at Whitneyville, Connecticut. Chronologically presented, the sory tells itself. The letters and documents come from Samuel Colt's own file, preserved by Mrs. Colt after his death, and presented to The Connecticut Hiistorical Society in 1915 by Charles E. Gross, one of her executors. Where Eli Whitney,Jr. or Samuel H. Walker were the writers, the documents are, except in the few instances noted, the originals; the letters of which Colt was the author are either drafts or copies in his own hand and intended for his own record. In each case the orthography of the writer has been retained, and interlined notes, superscriptions and endorsements (the latter in Colt's handwritin) are given whereever found. Former owner's neat signature and date on the inside front board. The top front and back corners are somewhat bumped. The inside is clean and bright and the binding is solid. Overall this is a Near Fine copy with moderate use.…
