Abstract
"There are four large guns in the Yakima Frontier Museum collection besides a large collection of historic rifles, like Indian trade guns, and handguns. One, a big Gatling gun, was made in 1883 and was manufactured by the Colt Co. It is a brass jacketed gun of the typed used in the Spanish American war and could fire 800 shots a minute. Dr. Gatling went to the Colt plant in 1866 with his gun which was perfected there. It was at that plant that John M. Browning took his automatic gun, produced first in 1895 and adopted first by the Navy and then the Army."
