Inventor Of Gatling Gun

Richard Jordan Gatling, inventor
Of the Gatling gun, was born in
Hertford county, N. c., in 1913.
While boy he assisted his father
in the invention of machine for
sowing cottonseed. Subsequently he
invented rice-sowing machine, lat
er adapted to sowing wheat in drills.
He graduated in medicine at Gin
cinnati, but before establishing HIM
self in practice conceived the basic
idea of the gun which afterward
made him famous. In 1861 he built
the first types of the revolving bat
terry gun known as Gatling. This
was improved in 1865 and immedi-
ately adopted by the United States
government. In 1886 he invented
new gun metal of steel and alum
mum. Congress soon afterward
voted him $4,000 to perfect new
method of casting cannon. He died
in 1908.
