Would it be safe to say that this came from Lathams Battery?

May i ask why it is associated with Lathams battery?

 

[Beltplate53]

Lathams Battery had the only 6 lb cannon at Gettysburg.

Lathams Battery had the only 6 lb cannon at Gettysburg.

Aha, thank you. I was just curious since Lathams Bty was in the I corps.

I just picked this up from The Union Drummer Boy in Gettysburg. Documentation says Jenny Wade Museum then National Soldiers Museum. 6 lb solid shot.
