One of eight children of textile manufacturer Christopher Colt, young amuel always had an interest in mechanics, and would often disassemble items to see how they worked. At the age of 16, he attended, but was eventually expelled from, Amherst Academy in Massachusetts, where he studied navigation. In 1830, Colt sailed on the Corvo as a seaman, where he first became fascinated with the way the ship's wheel worked. From that idea, he carved out a wooden prototype that would lead to his invention of a rotation-type firearm with a six-barrel cylinder. Colt's first two business ventures, producing firearms in Paterson New Jersey and making underwater mines, ended in disappointment. But his business expanded rapidly after 1847, when the Texas Rangers ordered 1,000 revolvers during the American war with Mexico. His firearms were prominent during the settling of the western frontier.
