Album Info:
This is an example of the most commonly used American field gun of the War of 1812 with its carriage and limber. American guns were made of iron from the Revolutionary War until the late 1830s because iron was far cheaper than bronze and more plentiful in North America. Originally, limbers were simply a pair of wheels and an axle used to support the tun carriage's trail for movement.
