Before it grew too hot, they took me out to see the barracks and a ramshackle old fieldpiece which they seemed to idolise. |
Meanwhile, the fellow who was driving the mules attached to the fieldpiece, turned his head, and saw what was going on. |
The gun, a 6-pounder fieldpiece, was delivered and set up July 2, 1863, and used that year during Independence Day exercises. |
Mick Kennedy trained his one eye like a fieldpiece upon the locality suggested. |
Guns had been fired from this quarter and that, German cannon or French, ordnance or fieldpiece. |
One of the soldiers afterward told me that when the governor landed he was greeted with thirteen rounds from a fieldpiece. |
