The reason to read AOSHQ is because they publish good stuff.
On February 25:
Samuel Colt patents first multi-shot revolving-cylinder revolver, enabling the firearm to be fired multiple times without reloading....
Officially, Samuel was a dummy:
Colt's revolver had its roots in young Samuel's inability to stay focused at the boarding school his father had sent him to; he preferred reading scientific encyclopedias and tinkering with his own experiments than tending to his schoolwork, and was consequently expelled. --quoting Ct. Day in History
A very good day, indeed!!
