Gonzales Texas Cannon

[Bryan]

Just spent the last hour trying to learn how to post pictures.   I'm just not computer smart.   Any tips on how is welcome.   Thanks

Carl has it set so the maximum attachment size is 450kb.  Many photos need to be shrunk down to fit within that.  If you are still having troubles, email your pictures to me or him and we will post them for you.

The problem I'm having is I can't copy them from my computer storage to the BnS site.   Their in my computer I just can't move them.

Lets see if this works.   Might not be the easy way.   I'll try and post a link next. 

This was taken at the Battle of Texas exhibit

Here's a write up about the cannon I hope.

The cannon picture above is a replica

Sorry but the picture thing didn't work.  I give up.

Bryan,

That file link will only work for you as only you are on the computer where it resides.  Mail the images to carl @ Sitherwood dot com and I'll see what's up.

Carl sent me a cheat sheet. Lets see how good a student I am

[Bryan]

Thanks Carl.   
The other pictures are too large of files.    They were close ups of the cannon without me.   The good thing is I now know how to post pictures

[CarlS]

Good job.  Glad it worked.  I read a little on Wikipedia last night about that battle and the cannon. Quite interesting.

Couple more pictures of the really crude cannon and carriage that Bryan sent me.

I think Fred and Barney built this one

It was whittled with a Bowie knife!  We all know what incredible knives those were.  In the good ole days they could do practically anything with a Bowie.
