Caption: Quinby and Robinson 12-pounder Howitzer
Additional Description: Another early war Confederate manufacturer of cannon was Quinby and Robinson of Memphis, Tennessee. Basically these were straight copies of the pre-war 12-pounder Model of 1841. Forty-two were produced before a fire destroyed the machine shop in Memphis. When the city was lost to Federals in 1862, all activity ceased.
