Birth and early life
Maxim was born in Sangerville, Maine, on February 5th, 1840. At the age of 14, he became an apprentice coachbuilder and ten years later, he took up a job at Levi Stephens' machine shop in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. He spent time as both an instrument designer and as a draughtsman. (His early careers in those industries led him to him being regularly dissatisfied with workers when he started his own businesses later in life.) Hiram referred to himself as a Protestant.
