Thomas Scott Baldwin
Thomas Scott Baldwin (June 30, 1854 – May 17, 1923) was a pioneer balloonist and U.S. Army major during World War I. He was the first American to descend from a balloon by parachute.
==Early career==
He was born on June 30, 1854 to Jane and Samuel Yates Baldwin.〔 He worked as a brakeman on the Illinois railroad, then joined a circus working as an acrobat. In 1875 he started an act combining trapeze and a hot air balloon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nasm.si.edu/collections/artifact.cfm?id=A19500094000 )〕
On January 30, 1885 he made one of the earliest recorded parachute jumps from a balloon. Baldwin repeated the feat on multiple occasions as a paid entertainer, netting $1500 from one dangerous jump over the water from 600 feet at Rockaway Beach in August 1887 marred by parachute difficulties.〔("Baldwin Jumps Again," ) ''New York Times,'' Aug. 30, 1887, pg. 12.〕
