RelicRunner and I were out touring western Tennessee a week ago and visited Fort Pillow State Park. It is a nice remote park with visiting if in the area. This park protects the Confederate then Union occupied earthworks overlooking the Mississippi River. The river has since moved west from there but the fort is nicely intact up on the river bluffs as well as the outer defense trenches. It housed a number of Columbiads, etc. meant to stop unwanted traveling on the river. There is a small museum with a few relics. One was a near mint Hotchkiss canister base. The other was this item labeled as a "Columbiad Elevation Piece". It displays the well known Palmetto bush symbolic with SC. Below is an image of the piece as well as the sign that hung above it. Does anyone recognize this as being what it is labeled?
