Just saw your profile, my maternal grandparents are from Greenock, thats not to far from you..Excellent pics
Sorry for the late reply. Only around 40 miles away, I stay nearer Central Scotland. Greenock was where most of the immigrants coming from Scotland left from back in the 18-19th century.Just saw your profile, my maternal grandparents are from Greenock, thats not to far from you
A captured piece perhaps, as one the main suppliers of weapons to the Confederate army was the Union Army.Awesome pic. But are you sure it's Confederate? Their brass 12 pounders didn't typically have the muzzle swell like the one shown here?
This is true. That's why I was wondering. I may be mistaken, but I think the Confederacy was reduced to making iron cannon by 1864. Wilber, do you know when this was taken by any chance?A captured piece perhaps, as one the main suppliers of weapons to the Confederate army was the Union Army.
I'm not Wilber, but if I had to hazard a guess; it would be after Atlanta had fallen in 1864 since there was a number of photographs taken of the Atlanta defenses at that time including one that shows a Napoleon that is now on display at Kennesaw.This is true.

Oh, and Semper Fi.A captured piece perhaps, as one the main suppliers of weapons to the Confederate army was the Union Army.
I notice I have a tendency to associate anything involving Atlanta with 1864.I'm not Wilber, but if I had to hazard a guess; it would be after Atlanta had fallen in 1864 since there was a number of photographs taken of the Atlanta defenses at that time including one that shows a Napoleon that is now on display at Kennesaw.
Captured Union piece maybe?Awesome pic. But are you sure it's Confederate? Their bronze 12 pounders didn't typically have the muzzle swell like the one shown here?
Me and redbob were thinking that. I was wondering if you knew when the pic was taken and where. The works around it and the chevaux de frise look to be in pretty good shape. Was it after Atlanta fell?Captured Union piece maybe?
Heres the info from LOCMe and redbob were thinking that. I was wondering if you knew when the pic was taken and where. The works around it and the chevaux de frise look to be in pretty good shape. Was it after Atlanta fell?
