This book contains copies of all Dr. Gatling's original Gatling Gun patent and patent drawings from the United States Patent Office. Also included are the patent drawings of the Broadwell Drum Feed, Bruce feed and Accles feed that was used on Colt Gatling Guns. Shortly after the outbreak of the American Civil War, Dr. Richard J. Gatling began work on his most famous invention. A prototype gun was made late in 1861 and was demonstrated in Indianapolis early in 1862. On November 4, 1862, Dr. Gatling received the first of his 10 patents for the famous gun that etched his name into history forever. The Gatling Gun was sometimes called by Dr. Gatling, Colt Firearms Company and the United States Patent Office as a battery gun, rotating battery gun, rotating cannon and machine gun. When the "modern" machine gun was made, it was referred to as an automated machine gun. These patent drawings provide a step back in time to view a technically advanced 19th century weapon that changed history.

The Creator sat upon the throne, thinking. Behind him stretched the illimitable continent of heaven, steeped in a glory of light and color; before him rose the black night of Space, like a wall. His mighty bulk towered rugged and mountain-like into the zenith, and His divine head blazed there like a distant sun. At His feet stood three colossal figures, diminished to extinction, almost, by contrast -- archangels -- their heads level with His ankle-bone. When the Creator had finished thinking, He said, "I have thought. Behold!" He lifted His hand, and from it burst a fountain-spray of fire, a million stupendous suns, which clove the blackness and soared, away and away and away, diminishing in magnitude and intensity as they pierced the far frontiers of Space, until at last they were but as diamond nailheads sparkling under the domed vast roof of the universe. At the end of an hour the Grand Council was dismissed. They left the Presence impressed and thoughtful, and retired to a private place, where they might talk with freedom. None of the three seemed to want to begin, though all wanted somebody to do it.

GATLING - A PHOTOGRAPHIC REMEMBRANCE is the most extensive work on Richard Jordan Gatling, inventor of the machine gun, ever published. The text tells for the first time what really happened to Gatling & his family as he became one of the world's greatest inventors & best known personalities of the 19th century. The book is lavishly illustrated with 144 photographs of Gatling, his family, & his gun, many of which are rare & never before published. Often called the Robert Oppenheimer of the 19th century, Richard Jordan Gatling's invention of the Gatling gun in 1862 forever changed warfare. The gun propelled Gatling into the international spotlight & provided him with riches far greater than most men of his time. But by 1897 Gatling's fortunes had vanished & he & his wife were living in New York City with their daughter. In 1901 Gatling turned his attention to developing a tractor but his health failed & he died penniless on February 23, 1903. The U.S. government named 2 ships for him during W.W. II & in 1958 his gun was revived as the Vulcan gun, now standard equipment on U.S. warships & warplanes.
