Captain Samuel Hamilton Walker

Here for your consideration is an old picture of Captain Samuel Hamilton Walker, half-length portrait, facing slightly right. It was created in 1846.

The photograph presents Texas Ranger. Captain Walker was a famous Ranger, Indian Fighter and Soldier. The famous "Colt Walker" was designed by Samuel Colt after a discussion with Captain Walker. Walker described what he considered would be the perfect fighting revolver, and it was then designed by Sam Colt, who put Captain Walker's name on it.

We have created this collection of illustrations primarily to serve as a valuable educational tool. Contact curator@old-picture.com.
