Henry Shrapnel, inventor of a nastiness of war, the shrapnel bomb.

 

The person I seek is not shown in the clues. Name the individual (include a picture if you can find one), and name his invention (and show a picture).

 

Would that be Richard Jordan Gatling, inventor of the Gatling gun.

 

Try as I may! I can’t beat you all. Richard Jordan Gatling and his invention the Gatling gun is indeed the answer as sleuthed out by @JimInOz . Well done! I guess it was too easy!

Well done @Canuck

A swift, and excellent solve.

 

Dark energy, black holes, etc.

 

Hubble telescope.

 

You’re getting impressively quick at solving these @Canuck

Well played.

 

Try this: With luck, you might need your thinking caps for this one. Persons shown in the clues do not appear in the answer. Show a person, name him, specify what he was famous for, and give us a date for this individual’s
accomplishment.

 

I’ll be looking for an answer on Saturday morning!

 

Is it about Mark?

 

I’m having trouble scrolling past Shania ‘Twain’
The brain wants to, but the fingers are unwilling.

I can see the obvious, but the last four pics are eluding me.

Something about ‘innocents’ ?

 

Mark Twain, author of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, published (pub leash) The Innocents Abroad, in 1869.

I think.

 

Nearly there

Forget Innocents abroad. Look at the date on the Indian Head penny.

 

Aah, I see it now

 

The title of the book written by Mark Twain is The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin. That is correct. But what about the rest of the clues? @Charlemagne1333 has been hinting at the meaning, but no awards until somebody completes the answer.

 

Published in 1885… Thanks to Jim
