Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Limited Edition. 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.

Addressed by Bonaparte, with stamp, red wax seal and postmarks, on reverse of second leaf, to 'Monsieur le Lieutenant-Colonel Lherbette Adt. au comm. de l'artillerie dans la 1re. division militaire | Vincennes'. Were he not leaving for the country, he would have presented in person 'Mr. Colt, citoyen des Etats-Unis, inventeur d'un ingénieux système d'armes à feu à plusieurs coups'. He and his 'cousin Murat [Joachim-Napoléon Murat (1767-1815)]' will be obliged if Colt can be admitted 'aux expériences du [sic] tir des carabines à tige des chapeurs à pied, quand elles auront lieu'. His colleague, 'le capitaine Tamissier, instructeur du tir à Vincennes', can brief him if necessary. It is his 'désir de faire admirer à un honorable et cordial étranger nos perfectionnemens en matière d'armes portatives'. According to one authority (Howze, Cooper and Kornhauser, 2006), Colt was selling his pistols to the nations of Europe around this time, gaining large orders by playing them off against one another at a time of high demand due to strained international relations.…

He writes, ?I think I may assert without fear of contradiction, that these arms are unsurpassed for power of penetration, accuracy of shooting, extent of range, strength of material, and perfection of finish. I enclose herewith documentary evidence of these facts???Together with near contemporary broadsheet style marketing material and price list?The letter shows him as a businessman at his best, using an effective sales pitch to sell firearms to the state governmentsSamuel Colt was an inventor and arms manufacturer, and while he is universally celebrated for his revolutionary revolvers, his company also pioneered some of the earliest repeating rifles. Colt?s production methods were groundbreaking. He was at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution, and his use of interchangeable parts helped him become one of the first to make efficient use of the assembly line manufacturing process.In March 1836, Colt formed the Patent Arms Company and began operation in an unused silk mill along the banks of the Passaic River in Paterson, New Jersey. The outbreak of the Second Seminole War between the U.S. government and the Seminole tribe in Florida provided Colt and his Patent Arms Manufacturing Company with their first big break. Seminole warriors had learned that soldiers were vulnerable while reloading their single-shot firearms, and they developed a tactic of drawing fire, then rushing the temporarily defenseless soldiers and wiping them out before they could fire a second volley. Colt?s revolving rifles were quite effective against this. This rifle was Colt?s first successful contract with the U.S. military. The total quantity of those rifles produced in 1838-41 was approximately 500.In addition to rifles, the U.S. Army ordered 1,000 revolvers after the pistol was used successfully during the Mexican War. Colt established the Colt Patent Arms Company to accommodate the mass production of gun parts using steam-powered, belt-driven machines. Stationed along a chorus line of machines, each person worked on a single part. All components produced by the machines were then assembled elsewhere in the factory. His method saved time and money while creating guns with interchangeable parts. Historians regard Colt's Hartford gun factory as a prototype for America's Industrial Revolution.In 1855, a new Hartford factory?the largest privately owned armament manufacturing plant in the world?was built overlooking the Connecticut River. There Colt manufactured the Colt 1855 Revolving Rifle. By 1856, the company could produce 150 weapons per day using interchangeable parts, efficient production lines and specially designed precision machinery. The Colt brand was now recognized worldwide through savvy promotion and was associated with quality and dependability. A masterful promoter, Colt offered the firearms not merely to the U.S. government, but to the states as well. He positioned his products within the American mythos, even hiring artist George Catlin to create paintings depicting Colt guns in use by sportsmen and explorers.During the late 1850s, while tensions mounted between the North and South that would soon lead to the Civil War, Colt continued to do business with longstanding customers in both Northern and Southern states. However, when war was finally declared on April 12, 1861, he turned his focus almost exclusively to supplying the Union army. In addition to selling to the U.S. government, he also outfitted the 1st Regiment Connecticut Rifles, a volunteer regiment from his company?s home state. Colt?s Patent Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company operated at full capacity and employed over 1,000 people in its Hartford factory. By that time, Samuel Colt had become one of the wealthiest men in America.This is a printed form letter (a solicitation template Colt used) to send to state governors to solicit their patronage, with blanks left for the date and recipient.
