Robert W. Hunt
Robert Woolston Hunt (December 9, 1838 – July 11, 1923) was an American metallurgical engineer.
==Early career==
Born in Fallsington, Pennsylvania, he was the only son of Dr. Robert A. Hunt and Martha Lancaster Woolston.〔 His father, a graduate of Princeton College and University of Pennsylvania, was a practicing physician. However, health issues led to him leaving his practice and moving with his family to Covington, Kentucky where he ran a pharmacy store.〔 It was there that the young Hunt received his early education in the local public schools.〔 Hunt's father died in 1855, which required his son to leave school at the age of 18 and take over his father's business.〔
With his health failing, in 1857 Robert W. Hunt had to sell the pharmacy business and then travel to Pottsville, Pennsylvania to recuperate. He became employed at the John Burnish & Company, an iron rolling mill in Pottsville,〔 where his cousin T. W. Yardley was a senior partner. At this mill he learned the skills of the iron working industry. In 1859 he joined Booth, Garrett & Reese, an analytical laboratory in Philadelphia,〔 where he took a course in analytical chemistry.〔 When his study was completed, in 1860 he joined Wood, Morrell & Co. as a chemist〔 and established an iron and steel works laboratory in Johnstown, Pennsylvania for the Cambria Iron Company.〔 By the spring of 1861, he was working as night foreman for the Elmira rolling mill in Elmira, New York.〔
Once the American Civil War began in 1861, he joined the Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, where he rose in rank from Private to Captain and was placed in charge of Camp Curtin in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania during the fall of 1862. The following year he became the mustering officer for the state of Pennsylvania. In 1864 he helped recruit Captain Bruce Lambert's Independent Mounted Company, Pennsylvania volunteers. When the war ended in 1865, he was mustered out of the service with the rank of Sergeant; yielding the rank of Lieutenant to a friend.〔
