Pieces of Confederate artillery that fell into the hands of the Federals at the surrender of Port Hudson.

fifty-one pieces of artillery fell into the hands of the Federals at the surrender of Port Hudson, many of them battered into silence by the long bombardment kept up by three Federal field-batteries and an entire regiment of heavy artillery (the First Indiana) on the Federal side. The Confederates had only field-pieces with which to defend their works against the investing army. The battered guns shown in the pictures were mounted in the Camp of Duryea's and Bainbridge's batteries. These works were garrisoned by the Fifteenth Arkansas Confederate Infantry.

Piece of Confederate artillery.
