In Response To: Arkansas Parrot Gun ()

Of course you know that at Arkansas Post there is a Parrot guns on display. Several years ago the barrel on display was an original (the Plaque which is still there states so) but has since been replaced with a reproduction display barrel.

Now whether that display gun is placed anywhere like an accurate position is unknown. The accounts of the battle state that after Fort Hindman was silenced that there was only 1 battery of 6 guns which supported the Confederate infantry during the assualt of those trenches. Whether that battery of 6 guns were Parrots or not is unknown, since the Union diagram of the Fort shows some Parrots guns inside the fort itself.
