I didn't know you were into guns like the Remington New Model Army.

crap gun mo wonder he changed careers to making electric shavers.

Actually for 1862 it was a pretty good gun, better, more durable, and
more
accurate than the cheaper competitor the Colt Army Model 1860.

...and Remington’s first diversification out of the firearms business
were
sewing machines and the typewriter. With that typewriter they gave us
the
QWERTY keyboard in 1873.

Ramiington Arms is not to be confused with the founder's cousin,
Frederick Remington.

Certainly not, you can’t shoot anybody with a painting or sculpture.

The Mohawk Valley being my old stomping grounds I am very familiar with the
Remington history and stuff related to it. The old Remington factory in
Ilion, NY was one of those places which was a landmark on my travels along
all of the valley roads from 5, 5S, to the NY ThruWay. There was a diner in
Ilion we used to hit for breakfast.

Is this just coincidence that talent runs in families?

No. However, the education provided by money from political, industrial and
entrepreneurial wealth to certain families helps.

Somewhat comparable to Louis Comfort Tiffany of Tiffany glass fame. He
was the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany of Tiffany and Company jewelers.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" was not about stained glass.

It wasn’t about breakfast either.

To be fair I wasn’t thinking along the lines of the Tiffany family and
glass, which has little to do with Eliphalet Remington the gunsmith.
I was referring to the fact that Frederic, who was born in 1861 the year
Eliphalet died, was afforded a privileged education at Yale. which was a far
more exclusive school in the 19th century than it is today. His family wealth
gave him the freedom to engage in a career as an artist.


Simply because they weere cousins,doesen't mean there was a comingling
of family assets. Federic's father may have been wealthy in his own
right, but none of Eliphalet's money should never be assumed to be
payable to Frederic or his famiy.
