Mott's Artillery

[Mike Serpa]

"Mott's Artillery," 3rd NY Independent Battery, Light Artillery and small cannon.

 

[AUG]

Very interesting photograph. The cannon looks like a 6-pounder, the man seated second from right looks like he has a Beaumont–Adams revolver stuck in his belt, the guy seated to the right of him has what appears to be some sort of presentation sword, the man sitting on the ground is holding a sword bayonet and most of the men are wearing Hardee hats, which is unusual for artillery. The weapons could just be photographer's props.
