Many of us grew up with monuments at courthouses, battlefields, and such using cannon mounted on a concrete slab. A few courthouses are taking the cannon off the concrete slab with a steel or aluminum carriages. I will use this one for an example even if it is not a Civil War gun.
Note that this one has a date and title on it. On one hand this might look better on a remade pied carriage, but in one sense it is a monument in itself. So changing it would destroy a monument. The monument itself has a certain historic value So should places like this put these on cartages or leave them as is?
