Figure 5. Cast bronze "Light" 12-pounder gun-howitzer, or Napoleon, at Howison's Hill. This gun was made in 1864 by James R. Anderson and Co., Tredegar Foundry, Richmond, Va. (Hazlett and others, 1988). Although cast long after the battle, this gun is virtually identical to Napoleons that would have been used during the Battle of Fredericksburg.
