Photographic War History. The War For The Union. 1861-1865. No. 1151. Sling Cart for Moving Heavy Cannon. These immense sling carts are used for moving heavy cannon. The wheels have double spokes and very broad heavy tires. Some idea of the size of these immense wheels can be formed by comparing their height with that of the officer who stands near. It will be noticed that although he is a tall man, yet his head only comes up to about the hub of the wheel. [Taylor & Huntington stereo card]
Library of Congress says: Sling cart used in removing the captured artillery, Fort Darling, Drewry’s Bluff, James River, Va. April 1865.
Gardner No. 1151.
