On this day 193 years ago Samuel Colt passed

Just a little history, he was the first to patent the revolver and his last name should point out his significance to American history.

He's not that old.

Update: Did some research.. he was born 1814 (July 19th... 192 yrs ago) but died Jan 10th 1862, 145 yrs ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Colt

I think he's the Samuel of Sam Adams beer or something. He's pretty famous though and they make some crappy ghetto beer with his last name on it.
