The Inventor of a Revolver.
Several years before the Colt's Revolvers were in- vented, Adam Humberger, a gunsmith in Somerset had made three models. He was of an inventive mind and somewhat of a genius in his line. On a muster day in Somerset, sometime back in the thirties, he tested the utility of his invention before several hun- dreds of people, with great success. He, however, never realized any pecuniary benefit from his inven- tion. He also invented a corn harvester but died be- fore it was perfected.124
