Posted by David Kopel: Happy Birthday Samuel Colt: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_07_19-2009_07_25.shtml#1248038998
Today is the anniversary of the 1814 birth of Samuel Colt. Not only was Samuel Colt one of the greatest firearms designers of all time, he was also a brilliant industrialist, a philanthropist, and an outstanding pro-labor employer. In 2002, I wrote [1]an article in support of making the Coltsville manufacturing area into a National Park. In 2008, the area [2]became a National Historic Landmark; the campaign for National Park status continues.
