Joe Wertz explores the life and legacy of Samuel Colt (Jan 03, 2008)
In his day, Samuel Colt was America's best known and wealthiest inventor, a man of unbridled ambition and vision. Though he is best known for inventing the revolving-breech pistol, a weapon that was said to have "won the West", Colt’s innovations and accomplishments were many. This week the Oklahoma Gazette’s own Joe Wertz takes us down the dusty trail of Colt’s life and legacy as presented in an exhibit at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame & Museum. Samuel Colt: Arms, Art and Invention will be on display through the weekend.
