John Caldwell Colt, brother of Samuel Colt of Gun Fame Colt, was a convicted fur trader, accountant, lawyer and murderer. He briefly served as the United States Navy, forging a letter to be released after three months. After many commercial attempts, he became the authority involved in double entry and publication of a manual on the subject, had 45 publications, and remained continuously published for up to 13 years after his death. In 1842, Colt was convicted of murdering a printer named Samuel Adams, with whom Colt owed money to publish an accounting manual.
