Reproduction Columbiad
Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: September 4, 2010
Caption: Reproduction Columbiad
Additional Description: This reproduction Columbiad, of a form similar to the Rodman Guns produced in the war. The 6.5-inch gun used at Fort Donelson may have been rifled version of the 8-inch Columbiad produced by Confederate gun-makers early in the war. If so, the weapon looked very similar to this reproduction.
