Those cannons look like they might have been a lot more trouble then they were worth unless trying to bust through fortifications or firing into large groups. Imagine trying to move those things in the lose soil.
Cool pictures thx. |

well, its kinda like a muzzle loaded rifle. it's not real efficient, but ask one of those soldiers if they'd have rather gone without. war, like everything, evolves with the technology of the times. what we consider high tech, will someday be dated. somewhere down the line people will ask themselves, "can you believe they used to have pilots, actually in the planes?"

He was probably just tall in relation to everyone else. The average male height was only about 5'6" back then. They did a great job restoring these pictures except one which has black spots all over it.
