I have to ask because I couldn't find it in the history section. Does any one know if any books with Mr. Wessons biography exists, if so help me out and point me in that direction. What was his full name and birth place. Thanks! Dayton! If we don't have a biography section then lets do it.

don't know anything about his biography but I did find this interesting bit of trivia in my Dad's line of the family today.
Gun Company Owner
Daniel B. Wesson partnered with Horace Smith in Norwich, Connecticut in the early 1850's to develop the first repeating rifle, the Volcanic rifle.

American Outlaw
John Wesley Hardin was an outlaw and gunfighter in Texas. He was reported to be the meanest man alive, once killing a man just for snoring. Most of his gunplay was a result of his short temper.

I knew there was a reason I liked firearms and DW's in particular. People have told me I have a temper, but only once..
