Ive been fortunate enough to come across this piece of Alabama Iron Works History. This Confederate Mountain Howitzer was one of 3 that were cast in 1976 during the Bi-Centennial when the furnace at Tannehill Iron Works was rebuilt. http://www.tannehill.org/ Rescued from an true Old Reb here in Alabama. He told me when he had it up and firing he could shoot a beer can 1/4 mile across Lake Guntersville. Anyway a pictures worth a 1000 words got it Friday and just got thru getting it broken down. Going to be a chore. Do have original plans. 1st photo in his backyard from there I got it home.
