An innovator and craftsman who helped build America. El Paso should be proud. He was an American pioneer and should not be forgotten. He invented/patented the 1st centered, scope reticle and revolutionised the business. Does he still have family in the area? Someone should write up something for Wikipedia about him. Thank you.
