Eliphalet Remington (October 28, 1793 - August 12, 1861) was an American inventor and engineer. He worked as a blacksmith, and at 23 he hand-made a flintlock rifle using a firing mechanism bought from a gunsmith, but constructing the barrel himself. The rifle received such a response that Remington decided to manufacture it in quantity. In 1840, he formed the firm of E. Remington and Sons. The company continued to grow and to develop its product and gradually began the manufacture of other sporting goods, such as bicycles. No artist credited, salted paper print with crayon and gouache, 1890s (cropped and cleaned). | |
