Confederate 42-Pounder in Kingwood, West Virginia

Many thanks to Seth Lemley for taking and sharing this wonderful photo set!

A Confederate Army 42-Pounder Seacoast Gun which was manufactured by Tredegar Iron Works of Richmond in 1861 is displayed in Kingwood, West Virginia. The 42-Pounder was banded but not rifled by the shop of J.M. Eason and Brothers in Charleston, South Carolina during the American Civil War - it remains a smoothbore.
