US M-1841 Civil War 12 Pounder Mountain Howitzer.&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p>The US Army needed a versatile and easily transportable cannon that was light, but also had range and firepower. The 12 Pounder Mountain Howitzer was developed in the 1830\u2019s and entered production as the Model 1841. There were two types of carriages, one could be broken down and carried by mules over rough terrain. The other type, a \u201cPrairie Carriage\u201d is more robust and was transported in the tradional manner by two horses with a separate caisson. The Mountain Howitzer can throw 12 lb. spherical shot and shell over 1000 yards, and also utilized deadly canister at close range. These scarce guns are rarely seen for sale as they are one the only full-scale cannon that can easily be displayed in a home setting or private museum. The gun being offered here was produced by N.P. Ames of Chicopee Mass. in 1863. It is clearly marked on the muzzle: \u201c<strong>A.M.Co.<\/strong>\u201d (Ames Mfg. Co,)\/<strong>No. 31<\/strong>&nbsp;(Serial #)\/<strong>1863<\/strong>\/\u201d<strong>A.B.D.<\/strong>\u201d (US Inspector Alexander B. Dyer)\/\u201d<strong>225\u2033<\/strong>&nbsp;(Weight of tube). Note deep uncleaned patina on the bronze barrel. The \u201cPrairie\u201d type carriage is mostly original, particularly the train, axles, hubs, and most of the metal hardware. The wheels and spokes are superb wooden reproductions while the iron rims are original. The hand spike, rammer, and worm appear original. The sponge covers and water bucket are reproductions.

Exploded Confederate 6 Pounder Iron Cannon Barrel. Fort Darling (Battle of Drewry&#8217;s Bluff) VA.<\/h2>\n<p>The Battle of Drewry&#8217;s Bluff took place on May 15, 1862. A Federal Naval Flotilla steamed up the James River intent on attacking Richmond.
