Lt.Arty Mountain Howitzer!

I shot this Christmas day with my mom. I'm working on a novel about the battle of Nashville and came upon a pair of these on Shy's Hill. We shot the video for my readers on my Facebook page but I thought I'd share my love for these guns here with you guys and gals too. What else can you tell me about this handy little guns?

The 1841 came with 3 different carriages, 1st and 2nd model prairie and the pack carriage. They were lethal at short range and could fire solid, case and canister shot. That one looks like a prairie carriage as it has cheeks on the side and not a walled out piece of oak which is how I build mine. If have one in the garage if you want one of your own.
