It would be an understatement to maintain that the Civil War was a boon to firearms manufacturers such as Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Mfg. Co. Indeed, Colt’s thrived during the conflict, employing two ten-hour shifts and as many as 1,500 men, while more than a half million Americans died on the battlefield and more than a million were disabled for life. That is an inescapable, if terrible and unfortunate, condition of war. Colt also thrived in spite of a disastrous 1864 fire, probably the result of sabotage by Confederate sympathizers, and the subsequent rebuilding.
