Iron, Banded 6-Pounders in Joliet, Illinois

Two (presumed) Confederate Iron Six-Pounders in Joliet, Illinois

Two smoothbore iron banded six-pounders that the registry identifies as of probable Confederate manufacture are displayed beside a G.A.R. Memorial in St. Peter Lutheran Cemetery in Joliet, Illinois today at a GAR Memorial. Many thanks to friend of the page Mike Clennon for sharing these photos!

As the registry notes, they have no visible markings.
