Dr. Richard Jordan Gatling
Inventor of the "Gatling Gun"
Posted March 7, 2008

Tom says:These three photo's were taken at Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis, IN They are the
grave and monument of Richard Gatling the inventor of the famous "Gatling Gun". Mr. Gatling mistakingly
thought by inventing such a horrible weapon that nobody in their right mind would start a war.
Unfortunately it brought about even better designs of machineguns, deadlier amd more efficient at the
task of killing as WW I would prove with the Browning design in both .50 and .30 caliber machine guns
and German design machine guns used both on the ground and in air to air combat.

Thanks Tom! These are AWESOME pictures!
