Description:Although Samuel Colt died in 1862 at age 47, he had lived a remarkably full life, one filled with enough controversy, calamity, failure and success to fill several novels. And, at the time, he was America's wealthiest inventor. Colt's widow took over the reins of the Colt Armory, memorialized Colt's name in American mythology, sanitized his foibles and misdeeds, and oversaw the amazing growth of the largest private armory in the world. Although Henry Ford is recognized for introducing the assembly line to production, Colt revolutionized production by employing standardized parts in the production of his guns and rifles, and this was years before Ford was born. Colt's genius was recognized by other great inventors including Samuel F. B. France honored American inventor Cyrus McCormick with the Cross of Legion of Honor and the French Academy of Sciences elected him a member, saying he had "done more for agriculture than any other living man." Although his invention, the reaper, spread throughout the world, his genius helped America produce enough wheat by the time he died to feed the entire nation. His life wasn't always sanguine, and he had his ups and down, but he persevered to become one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the nation. When he applied for an extension on his patent, the Commissioner of Patents rejected the application noting that "the Reaper is of too great value to the public to be controlled by any individual." McCormick's reaper gave us cheap bread while lining his pockets with enough wealth to help him finance the Union Pacific Railway and to purchase the Chicago Times. Author Daniel Alef brings Cyrus McCormick's fascinating story to life. [1,414-word Titan of Fortune Article].We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
