Summary
| Description |
English: 12 pound carronade found at the Church History Museum in Salt Lake City. The placard in front of the carronade states: "This short-range weapon was used by the Nauvoo Legion to deter attacks on Nauvoo's citizens until February 1846, when the first departing companies of Saints took all remaining artillery pieces with them for the trek west." A further placard exists for the leather thumbstalls on the carronade that reads, "Members of the Nauvoo Legion used these leather thumbstalls to protect their thumbs, which had to be placed over the cannon vent during reloading. |
