    There is more information on this cannon and a second cannon used by the Maderistas in the battle of Juarez, the so-called McGinty cannon, at netdotcom.com/revmexpc.cannon.pc, a website devoted to post cards of the Mexican Revolution. It was evidently cast in Chihuahua City under the direction of Giuseppe Garabaldi, a grandson of the Italian patriot who had joined the Maderistas. Lonn Taylor

    Hello History Buffs! I am trying to ID a cannon presently housed at the El Paso Museum of History (2nd Floor). It sits on top of a wooden carriage (dark green fading paint) - sorry, I don't know cannon terminology- that measures 73 inches long. The barrel looks to be made out of iron and measures 301/2 inches long with a 2 inch smooth bore (other end measures 4 1/2 inches in diameter and is closed off). There are two wooden wagon-style wheels (each w/ 16 spokes) and both are put together in halves (height of each of the wheels is 44 1/4 inches...it looks nothing like the cannon depicted above but is believed to have been used during the Mexican Revolution. If you can help, please email me at: wildblue_yerevan@yahoo.com (my name is WaterTiger). You can see photos of it at www.flickr.com/photos/23400667@N07/ Name of Photos: MysteryCannon-EPMH1 (thru 3)

    En la colección de Otis Aultman, de El Paso Public Library se puede ver en la foto 1707 (firmada Scott Photo) www.elpasotexas.gov/library/ourlibraries/main_library/bor... donde se le está dando acabado a un cañón muy parecido a este. La información agregada refiere que es en Ciudad Juárez. ¿Se trata del mismo cañón? Dr. Roberto Duarte
