History:
Garrison artillery played an important and sometimes spectacular role in the Civil War. The Confederates had at least one big 24 pounder gun in operation. These big pieces were dragged by 10 horses were the largest guns that could be hauled over normal roads.
For garrison duty the guns might be mounted on stock trail carriages or sometimes on barbette types to fire over walls.
24 pounders were used in the main battery of the US frigate constitution, and also used in forts and coastal trade routes. Both English and American types of 24 pounders were in the "Old Ironsides" compliment of guns. It was patented after the 12 American-type cannons which were deployed at the forward and after ports.
