42-Pounder, Banded and Rifled, in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania
A US Army 42-Pounder, Pattern 1845, Seacoast Gun which was banded and rifled during the American Civil War is displayed in front of the Civil War Memorial in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. The 42-Pounder, which weighed about 8,500 pounds in its original, unbanded smoothbore state, was a popular cannon for conversion into a rifle by both North and South. As Olmstead et al. points out, of the 29 known survivors of the type, just over half have been rifled and/or banded.
This 42-Pounder was cast by West Point Foundry in 1859. It is registry number 126 (as seen on the muzzle face).
