This cannon (a 3-inch Ordnance Rifle) actually represents a Confederate, not a Union, artillery emplacement at the Cold Harbor Unit of the Richmond National Battlefield Park.

Oh ok cool. Yeah, that is fine with me. I have some other photos of places in Virginia that turned out pretty good, if you are interested. They are all on here.

The web site is not mislabled and the guns do not point toward Chancellorsville. They represent the Federal Artillery position at Fairview and they face toward the Confederate guns at Hazel Grove. National Park Service personnel at Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park will gladly confirm this by writing:

Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park 120 Chatham Lane Fredericksburg, Virginia 22405

yea, good thing the German MG42 was so inaccurate, othewise the American casualties would have been a lot worse than they were...but there is no way of telling how many soldiers were killed by that MG42 in that bunker...

The furnace that is pictured is Catherine Furnace, on the Chancellorsville Battlefield, and is mis-labeled as "Spotswood Furnace." Spotswood Furnace is a couple of miles away, and is on private property and neither accessible to the public nor visible except on close inspection of the archaeological remains.
