I was born in Virginia and educated in Pennsylvania. I started my career as a machinist, at age 16 in Maryland. Later, I modified the design for a projectile and my design was adopted by the US Army in 1855. I worked for many major manufacturers prior to the war and even worked in England for a while. When the war broke out, I was initially appointed a superintendent, but was soon commissioned a Lt. Col. Despite my accomplishments in mechanization, I eventually became a farmer and died in 1894 at Winchester, VA.
Who am I? and what projectile did I modify?
