Charles Young was born a slave in May’s Lick, KY, but grew up free because his father escaped to Ohio and served in the Fifth Regiment of the Colored Artillery (heavy), thus earning freedom for his family. The family later migrated to Ripley, KY, where Young graduated at the top of his high school class… in a white school, because that’s what there was. Young was to successfully compete for a West Point selection, and would enter the academy in 1883. {001}

Died: Christian Sharps, approximate age 64 (born c. 1810). Designer of the first commercially successful breech loading rifle. Manufactured in a number of variations—from military sniper rifles and cavalry carbines to sporting/buffalo rifles—by several different companies with whom Sharps was associated. C. Sharps and Co. was the last. Single shot Sharps Rifles (1859-74) are excellent long-range firearms, powerful and accurate. The design is still made today, in a wide variety of calibers by a number of manufacturers domestic and foreign. Sharps also designed some fine, small, multi-barreled pistols*. Ad U.S. PD c. 1860’s? {001}
