Chickamauga Battlefield

A very nice shot of a 12 pounder smooth bored bronze Napoleon canon probably the most common light artillery canon of the Civil War on both sides this version with the flared barrel end was the one used by the Union Army and was a reliable and devastating weapon at close range, the one used by the Confederates was usually parallel at the barrel end

@benjiboy Thanks for the very informative commentary on what is an excellent picture of the cannon in it's natural habitat. The photo is well done with nice lighting, and interesting to see it in the Georgia forest setting.
