The spammers hijacked SquareLog as a conduit for emails and it's been shut down the last couple of days. By taking it off my own website I can try to get it back up and running. I uploaded my cannon picture to see how everything works here. I'll paste my cannon post below.
The four cannons on the courthouse lawn are interesting Civil War relics. An 1896 federal act allowed obsolete cannons in the federal inventory to be given to municipalities and veterans organizations that applied for them. Our cannons are 42-pounder seacoast guns, model of 1845. According to a register of Civil War cannons, there are 29 survivors of this type. All four of our cannons were made for the US Army at the Tredegar Foundry in Richmond Virginia in the late 1850s. The foundry became an important Confederate asset at the outbreak of the Civil War.  [there are errors in the identification of these four guns and I will be posting an update shortly.  I have been informed that two of the guns were made at the West Point Foundry and other details.  05/15/2013]
Benjamin Huger was the inspector whose initials are stamped on the face of the muzzle. Huger became a Confederate inspector after the outbreak of the war. The 42-pounder has a 7 inch bore and weighs 8500 pounds. They are fully lathe-turned. 318 were built by Tredegar Foundry, West Point Foundry, Fort Pitt, Alger, and Bellona. It''s interesting that all four of our cannon came from Tredegar.
The 42-pounder is a "gun", meaning that it is meant for level firing rather than lobbing a shot or shell at a high angle into the air. In sea-coast defense they were meant to fire directly at enemy ships. They fired a round "shot" and also were used to fire "hot shot" which are cannonballs heated red hot in a furnace to become an incindiary device. At 4.5 degrees elevation the range is 1955 yards. I checked out the cannon at the Northwest corner of the square shown in the picture above and figure from the direction it''s aimed, John''s Park would just about be in range if it was adjusted down to normal elevation, but then Richland Engineering and the Olympic Lounge would be in its sights just across the Square.
I wonder if the people who mounted these guns had any qualms about pointing them out at the city? I grew up with the admonishment not to ever point a gun at anyone, not even an empty gun or toy gun. The cannon at the southeast corner points point-blank at the roof of the church across the street.',
