Remington: The American Company That Secretly Armed Every American War Since 1816

It armed the Union. It armed American soldiers in two world wars. For more than two centuries it was the oldest gun company in the United States. Today, its bullets are owned by a company in Prague. Its rifles fled south to Georgia. And the upstate New York factory where it was born in 1816 is being turned into a data center. This is the strange, true story of Remington. Start with the ending, because the ending is the part nobody saw coming. In the summer of 2020, in a federal bankruptcy court in northern Alabama, the company that had been making guns longer than almost anyone alive in America was carved into pieces and sold off like furniture at an estate sale. Not sold whole. Not rescued by a patriotic buyer who wanted to keep it together. Sold in parts. Seven different bidders walked away with fragments of a single 204-year-old company.
